Cameron Highlands, Malaysia

8 September 2012
That fine morning we headed to Cameron Highlands. A very smooth journey with nothing to see but the fresh jungle of Pahang Darulmakmur. Arrived at around 10.00am. Oh, it's really cold ( not freezing though ) here at the highlands compared to the hot weather downlands. Is there any term as such? Downlands?

We went on search for the most affordable and comfort hotel. After a half an hour search we decided to stay at the Parkland Hotel. For RM 150.00 per night we get a single bed and a double bed. The room is spacious but quite basic since no electric kettle is provided. Need to get hot water from downstairs. Ooops....no elevator too. We stayed at the second floor. I asked my hubby to request for lower floor but not available. I ended up oooh ....ahhh...while climbing the stairs. Mind you I am overweight, okay.

My daughter is really excited. We couldn't wait for the food and strawberry haunting afterwards. Fresh strawberry dipped with chocolate is the best. Fortunately this time around, the strawberries are really sweet and aromatic. The last time we came, it wasn't this sweet. Flowers are also blooming. It really is soothing all my aches from the outside till the inside. I got a very nice feeling. My hubby and daughter also seemed to experience the same.

We may not afford going to the cold countries like Australia or Korea yet but Cameron Highlands is just fine. Don't expect window shopping or anything like going to parks here. The only thing here is simplicity and peace of mind. So if you're ' packed ' in the head, pack your bag with warm clothings and head to Cameron Highlands.
