Cameron Highland trip

Early on Saturday morning, we gathered at a given location. BUT i woke up at the time we are suppose to gather... =.= the person who pick me up, said he reach, and it is a Morning Call... LOL~~~ anyway, i fast fast do everything, and rush out of the house... Everything has been packed the day before... no worries...
so all was gathered, and we then proceed to breakfast... SKIP...
then we started our journey from the toll up north.... Fast Forward....

Turn off at Tapah, Mr. Garmin say can go by Tapah Or Simpang Pulai... the difference is Tapah is shorter route, but very sharp corners, and steep... Simpang Pulai is longer & wider road, but further...

Anyway the journey up, approximately 69 KM+++ through this journey, we was "blocked" by Lorry, buses, Trucks... one part, everyone had to follow behind this big lorry for a good few KM, until he slow down on a straight road, and everyone rush to overtake him... anyway, all was windy and good weather up... Stop at Tanah Rata to walk and look see at a Tea Plantation called Cameron Bharat.... after that we went for lunch at the town of Tanah Rata... After a good lunch, we went looking for Strawberry to pluck. And ended up at Big Red Strawberry Farm, it is a road away from the weekend night market.... there we had afternoon-tea of Strawberry's stuff, including cakes, pies, Sundae, etc~~~
After eating those sweet stuff, it was time to check in to the Park... hidden in a road to a Istana. The place is called, Strawberry Park Resort... WOW~~~~
we had a 3+1 room unit... LOL~~~ coz there was 8 of us...
after doing some "house-keeping", we took a rest.... In the late evening, those who wanted to play sports, eg: Squash, went to play some match... while the rest who wanted to explore, went for a walk up the Hill...

At just past 7pm, we went for our dinner of Steamboat at Brinchang town.... by the time we finish dinner, it was raining... so night market exploration had to be canceled... so back to the Park we went.... LOL~~~

We woke up early on sunday morning, and went for a morning walk, up the hills again but not as far as yesterday.... After the great wallop of breakfast, we pack our stuff and check out... our destination? BOH tea plantation @ Sungei Palas... it is near Equatorial Cameron. The road to the plantation is fantestic that it was such a challange for the driver, testing how well he can drive, how well he knows the car size to the inch... coz it test how driver communicate... we was stuck for a few times, and there was great adventure...
The BOH tea plantation lookout offer a splendor view of the valley and hills of tea...
after spending sometime there, it was another adventure coming out from the center...
We came down Cameron using Simpang Pulai... The road was wider, and people tend to drive faster... i was fast asleep....
From there, we came back directly to KL with 1 (ONE) rest area stop only...

Cameron trip is great~~~ nice, cooling place... i wonder tonight can sleep or not~~ Its so hot la~~~
