Bus Ride from Sagada to Baguio

15 Comments

After picking up my pre-ordered Lemon Pie from Lemon Pie House in Sagada, Mountain Province around 6AM I was hurrying back to my lodge to pick up my stuff and run to the bus station to reach the 7AM trip to Baguio. I’ve heard stories of people unable to ride the bus due to many travellers wanting to go out of Sagada that’s why I went to the bus station early but since I was going down on a Saturday there were only a few people.

The Lizardo Trans Bus started moving at around 7:15 AM and I loved the view of the clouds being lower than us.

Then it changed to the rice terraces and rivers.

Just before we reached the intersection of the road to Sagada and Halsema Highway

Then after some time the crops turned from rice to mountains of cabbage.

Guiuan Transport Terminal in Eastern Samar

When I went to Guiuan I was looking forward to seeing the 16th Century Church, the beaches of Calicoan Island and their airport. I never knew that one of my most memorable places in Guiuan would be their Central Transport Terminal.

Guiuan Transport Terminal

Guiuan Transport Terminal is actually built on a reclaimed land like SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City. It does not only cater land transportation but it is also where you can ride boats to Homonhon Island, where Ferdinand Magellan first landed in the Philippines, and Manicani Island. Though I’m not sure if they also have rides going to Suluan Island.

Another reason why I love the Transport Terminal in Guiuan is their FOOD!!!! Dining beside the sea, breathing and feeling the fresh air, eating fresh delicious foods with the budget of an eatery. I only paid 40 Pesos for my pork steak and 5 Pesos for a cup of rice.
