Spending My Money (Banaue/Baguio Trip 6)

This morning we got up at 6:30 and were dressed and packed by 7. We went to Pizza Valente for waffles, omelettes, hot chocolate, and bacon. All that for only 95 pesos. After breakfast, we’re going to the market before we head to the airport. Our flight is at 10:20 but we should be there by 9:20 am. It’s the Baguio Strawberry Festival right now, so strawberries are in season. I’m going to stock up on strawberries, tomatoes, and broccoli since they’re better, fresher, and cheaper here than in Manila. Then we’ll go to the airport. We were told that it took an hour to get to the airport so we got up super early. It took only 15-20 minutes. So we arrived 8:35 am for our 10:20 am flight. We’re super early instead of super late…Filipino time—in reverse.
