More Baguio Re-orientation

Our BenCab Museum trip must have been coupled with a short trip down Asin Road [[ must have - 'could not now remember the sequence of events]] and returning back via a nice highway, which Ping dubbed as the "Domogan Highway". It was a good ride back to Naguilian Road with the well paved roads and seemingly, a no travel zone. Louee's car had the privilege of traveling all on it's own, along that stretch of highway... Hmm... I wondered if we were trespassing on private lands. 

Our visit to Asin Hot Springs next day was of no consequence. Other than the hot springs tub experience, the swimming pool closed as soon as the rain came pouring.  We waited out the rain to stop @ the resort's restaurant. Instead of fading away, the rain kept at it's fury. We decided to take our chance and ran for the car.  Soaking wet, we headed home, passing by a  few people huddled together in a waiting shed, hoping for the rain to subside and a bus to come by.

Our next day's re-orientation was blessed with clear blue skies.  First stop: Dominican Hill



I also wanted to see the famous Bell Amphitheater @ John Hay Air Base, but it was closed to the Public when we got there @ 5:00PM. Psssttt... they are now charging a visitors fee to view the Amphitheater.  We opted for the "free" surroundings and took photos:



After JHAB, we rushed to PMA.  But, like any other important tourist "must see" in Baguio, everything closes @ 5:00PM.  An important notation for future visitors to these places to start their trekking early.  We pushed ourselves and took a glimpse of the Mansion House and the nearby Wright Park. Not bad, for a person born and bred in Baguio, I was happy, taking just a glimpse of the places I have never been to.
