2011 Cameron Highlands Trip

After a good night rest at the hotel, all of us woke up fresh and energetic the next morning ready to continue with our vacation.

The itinerary for the day was Cameron Highlands. We left Bidor in 3 cars late in the morning after breakfast. Small Jiu Jiu and Po Po did not join us…. for the obvious reason of course; there’s a wedding to plan!

The journey up the hill via the Tapah entrance winding road was wicked as expected. We gotta stop a few times to catch breather….
The adults needed 'em, not the kids. The kids did not seem to be disturbed, Samuel chatted with Mommy all the way up and Alaina slept most of the drive.

Break at Lata Iskandar

It was near to 2pm when we reached Tanah Rata, we headed straight to Hotel Heritage. The rest of the 2 cars continued to Brinchang and put-up at Rosa Passadena.
Since we had snacked our hearts out earlier, we decided to skip lunch and had an early tea instead;

Scone and tea at the hotel.

One of the best scones we’ve tried…. Probably second to the ones served at Nobbies Café at the Australia Philips Island Nature Park.

Weather was cool, we were contented loiter around the hotel more breather before continued with our sight seeing.

It was to the Healthy Strawberry Farm later where we had waffles…

with strawberry (but of course) and ice-cream : )

It’s good that we had 2 teas before dinner cos, boy was it jam on the way to Brinchang :O. It’s the school holiday and the holiday crowd was madness there.
We joined the rest of the party at their hotel and then dinner at the Organic Steamboat Restaurant.
This restaurant is sorta famous and highly recommended by food critics. Even celebrities dine there. The vegetables are all organically grown and they use charcoal base steamboat pot. All of us had tears in our eyes while we ate……
Not because the food was good (it was OK though) but cos of the charcoal smoke!

It rained half way through our dinner so we had to scrap our Pasar Malam plan. The remaining of the night sees us running to our car shielded by Daddy’s coat with kids in our arms …. The kids again were not complaining. We know that Samuel can be a tough adventurer when he wants to but Alaina? A tough cookie in the making too?

Well, both the kids tired out and hit the pillows once we reached back our hotel. Daddy followed suit after a while too leaving Mommy counting the sheep all night long. Mommy hardly had any eye-shut :O
