Baguio Recreation:
"Can we stay an extra day?"
Kids on vacation in Baguio all say the same thing when it's time to leave. They want to go back one more time and ride "Buttercup," that nice pony at Wright Park who is owned by their new friend, "Manong Scott." Or maybe they want to ride that swan-shaped boat at Burnham Park because, two days ago, someone else hired it first and they only got to ride the plain yellow one.
As for the older ones, they were able to meet this nice group of teenage cousins playing football at Melvin Jones and "they're inviting us for one last game, Dad!"
When I was small, before our family bought a vacation condo we used to rent a private vacation home every summer for about two weeks -- and that was still never enough time to do all that we wanted!
The great thing about vacationing here is that you can design an itinerary so that you can still engage in your favorite sport while touring or choose to lay back, relax and attend to things you've been putting off like getting a massage or reading a good book.
So, instead of merely listing down everything there is to do here (which is a lot), I have decided to also classify the recreational activities into themes so you can design your vacation around your particular interests!
