Benguet : Strawberry Picking

One splendid summer of 2012, 
I asked a long time friend of mine if we could go to Baguio and do the strawberry picking
since I haven't done it. :D 
He was a bit hesitant at first but later on, he said yes. Yesh! 

So we went to Cubao and inquired at several bus stations. 
Subsequently, we saw ourselves boarding Victory Liner bus around 8 pm (I think) at that time. 
Meanwhile, I spoke with a friend who lives in Baguio if he could accommodate us and 
he gave us a positive feedback.  Yay!

Our journey was shorter than we expected as we traveled during the night, 
so we arrived in Baguio around 2 in the morning and we couldn't reach my friend.  
Instead, we stay in a hostel nearby, took some power nap and put the alarm at 6am.
Following a few moments of snoozing, we readied ourselves and head to pick strawberries.
Woohoo!!! 
One happy kid here!



When we arrived at the farm, 
I was really amazed by the sight - blue skies on top of a stunning plantation. 
I was sooo excited and ecstatic that finally a tick on my bucket list!  haha! 


The farm is located in La Trinidad, Benguet. 
It's around 30 minutes away from the city proper,  
and is accessible by private cars and public transportation. 
I would suggest that you visit the area early, around 6 am to avoid busy streets.
It also gets a little crowded if you get there late.
