Spent a day on a bus today from Manila up north to Baguio City.
It is another extremely overcrowded and dirty city, although this one is up among the mountains and quite isolated.
I struggled for photos, but there are very many churches around - most Filipinos are Catholics - so we climbed up dozens of steps to look at this one in the city centre.
There is also Burnham Park, which is a traffic free, peaceful area. We hired a swan pedalo for a quick trip around the lake, but unfortunately, there was a bit of a design flaw with it as it had a really wide fibreglass neck and head, so we couldn't see where we were going.
Surprisingly, the park had a good display of sunflowers, chrysanthemums and roses, which we have not seen since leaving England. It shows how much cooler the climate is up here.
Have you tried any 'halo halo' yet? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo-halo
