After: Vacation to Cameron Highlands @ February 2008

Friday, February 15th, 2008

It was already a week after my vacation to Cameron Highlands. I would say it was too clouded during my vacation. Our car stuck in long cars queue for about 1.5 hour in the Highway. According to Toll Plus, the queue length almost 20KM! Even their helicopter come to observe the traffics and open more lane for us.

Anyway, we still enjoy the flowers and some foods there. There are few must do if you visit Cameron Highlands:

Fried Mushroom - Nice vege snack, can buy from stall at road side (near Rose Valley)

Sweet Pearl Corn - Large, sweet and juicy corn that you never taste else where (near Cactus Farm)

Homemade Strawberry Ice-cream - Natural homemade strawberry ice-cream (near Cactus Farm)

Take tea break at Bharat Tea Plantation - We took a short break on the way down. The tea plantation screnery and carrot cake is nice :)

Waterfall - The fresh water at upper level of waterfall is cold and fresh!

Vacation to Cameron Highlands @ February 2008

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Its time again to take a short break on this coming holidays. It is not a long holidays for full time worker like me, just a few days. But this does not stop me and family refresh ourself in this cold highland.:)

This is my first vacation in year 2008! Total of 9 of us will be staying at Tanah Rata (Google Maps), a town at Cameron Highlands. It was 8 years since my last visit.

Since these are super peak holidays season, it is hard time for me to find suitable acommandation. Most of the charlets, bungolow, and apartments were fully booked. Finally got an expensive accommodation at newly build Arabella Apartment. The price has been raised up at least 30% compared to normal rates.

Anyway, we accept that charges since we have 9 persons to share out the fees. Hope us have a relaxing and enjoyable trip at Cameron Highlands this year.
