Cameron Highlands

One of the finest places to cool down and unwind after working till wee hours. I managed to find my busy time to drive up with my family. The drive through virgin jungle and beautiful scenary was paid off when we felt the temperature was nicer and colder than in Bota. Surprisingly the noon was cold unlike 10 or 15 years ago. A visit to the Jabatan Hutan camping site started with lunch and cold deep water splashing "play" by the kids. The young ones loved the place. They just had their "manhood" after being circumsized by Dr Zakaria at Bandar Sidek. The officer told us that they have 2 houses for rent at RM60 and RM80 per day. Each can fit in 30 people. Bring your own blanket and comforter. Then we headed straight to the house (RM260)that we booked thru internet. It has 3 rooms, a kitchen, livingroom with TV and Astro, two toilets with hot shower. The parking lot is huge. The VIEW is magnificent from all around 360 degrees. Behind the house is planted with a lot of vegetable. A walk around TAMAN BAHAGIA completed the sorrounding tours. Tea, vege, flowers strawberries.... all around you. That night was darn cold... Could not sleep, too cold.... after paying RM29 for packed lauk.Normally at Bota it costs around RM10. The trip was wonderful. We visited many places. MARDI, Orang Asli settlement, Tea plantation, Pasar Malam, etc, We headed to Tapah using the old route. A stop at Lata Iskandar and Tapah completed our trip before heading home....
