Cameron trip...

Went for a Cameron highland day trip yesterday. Actually I was prepared to spent that Friday night relaxing at home (well after an exhausting working day) playing my bloody games when some friends show up on the door and drag me along for their first ever trip to the highland. Let me state that I was deeply reluctant to go because I was tired (it was a 400++ km return trip) and furthermore I was a little low on budget.

We spent a couple of hours waiting for sunrise at the quite Cameron hospital's car park before visiting a tea farm in Ringlet. Then we proceed to KEA farm to see how they manage the farm but was disappointed as the only attraction there was the strawberry farms. I strongly suggests that future visitors to try their luck at the MARDI agricultural center in Tanah Rata as they got tons of activity there and some apple trees (hey, I never seen an apple tree up close and personal, have you?) Anyway, we bought some vegetables (murah giler) and of course strawberries.

Overall, a Cameron highland trip is ok for family, couples and sightseers but for a bunch of adventurous friends, it is advisable to go somewhere else. And please be careful when driving down either to the Tapah or Simpang Pulai highway exit, going down the hill is already fast, you don't need to push the pedal some more just to prove something that is not worth proving. Its a hair raising experience expecially when the one who drives had just passed their driving test.

p.s - Life thought me another lesson here. Going for a trip with a couple is definately a no-no except well, you are bringing your other half as well to balance up the team :)
