Cameron Highland Road Trip

Our journey started 5am in the morning after a short sleep. Even though we worked 5 long days we were very  excited about the trip. Along the way we picked up James and Uncle Raj and made our way to Cameron Highlands in hopes of beating the traffic jam which Sharon and I had gone through last Raya in 2007. Well beat the traffic we did and we arrived at the peak at about 9am. Once there we got out to enjoy the fresh air and it was absolutely wonderful, the air was so cool and refreshing and I was wearing shorts...legs were freezing.

One of the best moments up at Cameron Highlands is the visit to the  BOH tea plantation, thanks to Uncle Raj who showed us the way to the plantation, without him we would never have found our way there. The journey up to the plantation interesting, there were lots of blind corners and each blind corner we had to press on the horn to warn people that we are coming up the hill. Once we reached there we got ourselves a cup of BOH tea and some cakes and sandwiches. Once we finished our tea we made our way up to the hill to enjoy the wonderful scenery and the cool breeze. That was the best experience we had up at Cameron. We stayed there for almost 1 hour enjoying the cool breeze. How we wished we could stay there longer.....

That's a BIG tea cup

Man was it hot the time I was sucking on the strawberry ice cream. Once it hit 12 noon the cool air was gone and the sun was really making the temperatures high. By that time traffic also started to build up and it was considerably packed at Tanah Rata so we decided to head back down the highlands back to our lovely homes Penang. But of course we had to endure another 3-4 hours of driving.
