Cameron Highlands - Day Two

Trip to Cameron Highlands


Itinerary for Day 2


Woke up again before the sun, at 6.00am. Saw that it was raining, and went back to sleep.

Woke up again at 7.00am and was 1 hour behind schedule. But it was ok. The weather was good, the sunlight was awesome for photography.

Packed, checked out & headed further up the highlands towards Boh Tea Plantation at Sungai Pulas.

Breathtaking view all the way! I love the place. Sadly though, the destruction of God's rainforest can be such an awesome sight.

Walked up to the tea centre, where they served tea and some breakfast.. They had just harvested (just just chopped off) the trees beside the walking route up to the centre, so it was not fun taking photos there..

Decided to have breakfast first before stopping somewhere on the way down to take some nice photos.

I had a boring sausage bun, as the mushroom soup I ordered was finished & I am not a big fan of strawberry. Processed strawberry, actually.

Strawberry Cake.. Delicious! with a cup of Hot Boh Tea. Even for a girl who does not usually like strawberry flavored food, this cake is good.

Took tons of photos on the plantation & I really do not want to jam up this blog with low resolution photos.

Visited the Butterfly Farm next, AWESOME!!!!!
I think my favourite place of visit so far.. It is a photographer's heaven!

Again, I took too many photos to have them all posted here. So I am going to put it in another post called Cameron Highlands - Butterfly Farm

I forgot to take a photo of the Signboard though, but it is hard to miss, near the KEA Market. towards Boh Tea Plantation, it would be on your left. Entrance is RM5.. But it is so much better than the butterfly farm in Zoo Negara.

Visited Kea Market, bought some more food & fresh corn to bring back home.

Went back to Brinchang town to buy flowers.. LOVELY flowers! Bought 16 red roses & 10 Large Sunflowers for RM15.

Wanted to wait till the Night Market again... but decided not to.

So before going back, wanted to give the Strawberry farm another try.
Visited the BIG RED STRAWBERRY FARM. After the previous disappointment, this one was wonderful! I immediately liked the FREE ADMISSION on signboard!

Went in and took loads of photos again.
For this, I am gonna gratefully give them some free advertisement by posting the photos I took in Cameron Highlands - BIG RED STRAWBERRY FARM

The place was beautifully decorated and they had a cafe with a large variety of strawberry desserts! My mouth was watering as a stood in line waiting to place my order. Had Strawberry Waffles. Not bad at all. Did not take a photo of it though, forgot! Haha.

Finished with day two..

Sad. The trip is officially over.

It started drizzling and so it was best to drive back before it started raining badly. Took the old road back going through Ringlet and Tapah.
The road was much narrower than that from Simpang Pulai, but it is quite nice. Passed by some Orang Asli houses & an overflowing river. Lots of rainforest as well.

Had to stop at a rest-stop for bout half an hour along the North-South Highway, due to the rain being too heavy to see the roads clearly.

Reached KL again at 9.30pm.
