The Baguio Overnight Chronicles: Camp John Hay

After leaving Inn Rocio, we decided to end our Baguio overnight journey by visiting the former rest & recreation facility for American soldiers ...


We just adore the Camp John Hay Manor Hotel, with its very awesome architecture and homey interiors. Of course, it was photo op for us that time!
Then, we visited The Mile Hi Center ...



The Mile Hi Center is a commercial complex with diners, souvenir shops, sporting good stores and a commissary showcasing different imported goods. Of course, Cholo and Dave haggled at the Penny's Worth shop to get the nice blue jacket. I was able to buy some pasalubong and tasty baked treats, too.
Our very last stop was at the former Country Waffle diner ...


There's nothing more relaxing than sipping hot, brewed coffee and savoring some flapjacks with sausages and sunny side-up egg, with the chilly breeze gently blowing against you, and the good company of close friends.
Oh yes, that was just one day in the City of Pines, but that was one very memorable and happy experience. Yup, we'll be back in January. I can't wait ... :-P
