View at the Highest Point "To travel is to live." - Hans Christian Andersen Day 3 (March 29,2015) At 7am we say goodbye to Sagada but our journey didn't stop there because we still had our side trip to Baguio! We first had our brunch at Mia's Muffin House in Bauko, Mountain Province. Their carrot cake is a must-try, so grab some when you're there! Team Kuneho at Mia's Muffin House Next, we headed to the Highest Point located at Cattubo, Atok, Benguet.  The place is about 7,400 feet above sea level.  With my crazy friends! After enjoying the view at the highest point and after having so many photo ops, we tried strawberry picking and hoard vegetables in La Trinidad, Benguet. Looking for kambal na strawberry Our tour ended at the location of the teleserye Forevermore. One of the reasons why I'm super excited about our Sagada trip is because of our side trip to La Presa. Yeah, I won't deny that I'm a fan of

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page."                                                                      - Saint Agustine Day 2 (March 28,2015) Breakfast is very important, especially when you're about to do something that is very challenging. What's the best energy booster? Sandwich and Sagada's lemon pie! We weren't able to make a reservation the night before so when we went there the only available food is their lemon pie Whole lemon pie costs Php200 The first activity on our second day is the trek to Bomod-ok Falls (aka Big Falls). Again, I didn't expect that the track would be that long. The first part of the trail has been the unending stairs, just kidding! It has an ending, of course, but it is really (as in really) long, but the good part about it is that is it cemented (yippee!). Walking sticks are needed for support. Don't worry... They will provide it. You'll also pas

  "Once a year, go someplace you've never been before." - Dalai Lama Even before watching the movie "That Thing Called... Tadhana " I already wanted to visit Sagada and my urgency to visit the place reached its peak after watching it. With my colleagues, we were able to get a Sagada tour package with a side trip to La Presa (Oh yes! It is the location of the teleserye Forevermore) at Pilipinas Roadtrip . Day 1 ( March 27,2015) Before heading to Sagada, we passed by Banaue. #Team Kuneho What will you see in Bananue? The famous Banaue Rice Terraces! After some photo ops at Banaue, off to Sagada we go! Sagada is just a small town in Mountain Province. A small town that requires 12 hours of journey (from Manila) along curvy roads. " Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations."                                                     - Author Unknown                          Our first stop... Sagada Weaving. You can watc
