so it was time of the year when Penang is soooo hot that me and Mr Potato decided to go to somewhere cooler and have ourselves relaxed. could not remember which dates are these when we went there, I think next time I have to blog right after the trip.
So I remember it must be some sort of public holidays, we started our journey super early in the morning sat 5am? there was no jam until we arrived and started to go around.
so lesson learnt : never go vacations in Malaysia whenever there is public holiday
you could not image the crowd during our journey back. it was like 6 hours journey from CH to PG.
almost fainted in the car....
so we checked in to this ZERMATT HOTEL, as per book in AGODA.
RM80 +- for a night, the place is quite new. so everything is good.
the staff were friendly and most importantly they provide HAIR DRYER!
that is my main concern in every hotel, couldn't afford bring such heavy stuff to a vacation.
the cons are: lots of mosquito and super big ones, woke up to actually kill 10+ of them. with the height we are on and with no fan, it's a bit not soooo cool at night.
this is not the first time we went to CH. so day1 is eat kaki.
are you a fan of flowers? if yes this is the place where you need to go.
rose valley, entrance is at roadside with parking space across, I think both of us is the first visitor of the day, we were day around 9am. imagining the whole garden is ours haha.
if you are a "photogtapher" you know wanted to take as much photo as possible
go earlier, and you can get as much photo as possible without visitors behind you.
this places requires some stamina. it's quite big with steps. entrance fee RM5
stop by a bee farm near rose valley, free entrance nothing special
lots of bees.. of wait dead bees. with different type of honey selling at the counter.
next is the must go place because of the yummy salad, its a strawberry farm located behind cactus valley. well you see it's not our first time so, we skipped the cactus and just to go for food.
and of courses walking around breathing in fresh air. but tbh it's not that fresh either.
and so this is Bharat Tea Plantation, it's not as crowded as BOH.
this is a bit smaller, but a better place for photo and eye opener.
there is a small cafe on the top which you can have drinks and enjoy the view
so Mr Potato decided to have 'teh peng' as it's his favorite - rating 4.5/5
so we went back to the hotel quite early around 5pm
as we said this is an relaxing trip, started to walk around the hotel to get food for dinner
so we brought the mini cooker up, so we made mini steamboat out of it.
luckily there were no smell in the hotel hahahaha...
you might ask why didn't we go to the night market ..
well you see it's a public holiday and the cars are like covering up the whole place of Cameron Highland. you don't want to caught in the jam and go home after that. mood breaker.
DAY 2
so this is something not everyone will do, but sure us.
to see the sunrise of this place.
well usually no matter which place we go, I'll insist to go somewhere that I can view the skyline.
so we woke up 4am in the morning the tour guides came 5am
which was super early for Mr Potato, his eyes were close until the car started moving where our hearts going to bump out of us.
so there brought us up here, with the observation deck, too bad its too misty that time
could not see anything, but imagining climbing up that
cold and rusty, it's scary for little girl like me :D
then done some little hiking where you can see where is Perak & Pahang
and the highest peak of Cameron Highland.
after that they provide coffee tea and light breakfast on the gunung itself.
so it's like chit chatting with tourist and drink coffee.
so this is a sunrise trip, of course ada sunrise lah.
you think it's very pretty huh, do you know how cold is this.
I was freezing till death with long pants, and 3 layers of clothing.
when the wind blows I just hoped to jump into the fire.
next of course they'll bring us BOH tea plantation,
so it's not the first time we came here. nothing much special to us
and here we end our jouney in cameron highland
and started the jam back to Penang.
no next time for public holidays.
not much expenses this trip, I think per person RM200++
rating for whole trip 3/5.
because of the jam we had.
