I am Drewsome: Sagada: Paradise of Mt. Province (Day 3)

It took me some time before I post this part 3 and I apologize. Actually, day three of our journey is just free time for us to roam around the village, buy some souvenir items and some goodies. Since we were really tired about Days 2 Itinerary, we woke up late around 8am (It’s late because our bus from Sagada to Baguio will leave at 1pm and we still need to do a lot of things.)

1^st, we packed our things and took a shower. We headed straight to one of the cafes to have breakfast (I forgot the name but this one is located near where the mini busses were parked.) We ordered ham & cheese and veggie omelette with toasts and this time we tried the Sagada coffee. I liked the veggie omelette more than the meat omelette. The vegetables were really crisps. With added tomato ketchup on your toasts it really tastes like a veggie pizza. The Sagada brewed coffee is amazing. The aroma and flavour is strong just like the Barako Coffee from Batangas.

After breakfast we headed straight to the store for souvenir items. Sagada is famous for wood carving so we bought a set of wood carved spoon and fork for our co-workers ands accessories for ourselves. They have street market during that day. So we decided to peak to see what local produce are they selling. The market sells their vegetable harvests, meat and poultry, coffee beans and local tea. Since we love the tea and coffee, we bought some fresh tea leaves and ground coffee beans.

Around 11:30 am, we went around the church area again to shoot more pictures and then headed back to the inn to get our things. Before heading to the bus station, we dropped by to Yoghurt House to order yogurt for take out. The café is jammed pack with a group of Brits that’s on a tour. It’s already 12:45pm and if we were going to wait for a long time, we will be late for our bus and the last trip is at 1pm (no 2 pm schedule on that day only). So it ends up that we haven’t tried the famous yogurt of Sagada and until now, my girlfriend blames me for that. But I thought it would be enough reason for us to return to Sagada.

To sum it up, we enjoyed our stay at Sagada. We want to stay for 2 more days but we have work to do. My advice, if you’re planning for 3 days 2 nights stay, allot 5 days for your trip if you’re coming from Manila. 2 days is for your travelling time. Surely, we will be back to Sagada. Fresh air, fresh food, breathtaking sceneries, peaceful and quiet. A place you can not find at the metro.
