Sleep in today! Didnt leave until 0830!
Joseph and Doy complaining that its freezing cold still.
Temps about 17-18C this morning.
Did a bit of a town tour - traffic very congested. then went out through La Trinidad to the strawberry fields - lots of flowers and strawberries. Bought some jam and fresh strawberries and a bottle of wild berry wine (blech). Carl bought me a silver bracelet, and I bought a solid silver bracelet for Amanda. After we had left I figured out how cheap the bracelets were and was annoyed with Carl cause I wanted to buy some more and he wouldnt let me lol.
We then went to Mines View Park at the top of Baguio, the Botanic Garden and then drove past Camp John Hayes.
Left Baguio after lunch and headed to Vigan.
Somewhere along the way we stopped and bought some stuff called tinubung - its a hollow bamboo tube filled with sticky rice and cheese - not bad except when it gets too dry!
Arrived in Vigan about 5pm. Its and old Spanish town where they have tried to preserve the historic township- lovely but desperately needs some conservation work!
Drove around the old part of time, checked into our motel which is an old spanish style place with the rooms around a central courtyard with a fountain. We are right on the edge of the old town, but for once it had shut down by 7pm (most shops over here are open till 10pm each night)
Had dinner in an outdoor cafe (Cafe Leona - named after a famed local poetess Leona Florentino)
