Cameron Highlands Trip

This is my 3 days 2 nights trip to Cameron Highlands on the 1st September 2006 with my lovely KP. It was my 2nd visit to this nice little highlands and i still find it to be a very nice place to relax and spend some quality time with someone =). Though this was my first experience driving up to Cameron Highlands, i still find it quite easy to locate with some visuals guidance from my project manager Chim, thank you.

Driving up from the old route (Tapah) is quite a nightmare when there's some big trucks or lorries passing by your car from the opposite directions with a mere few inches, phew.... so just try to keep a comfortable distants from them if possible. Freakin me out each time those big wheels passes by. Other than that, everything else is okay.

Booking a room in Cameron Highlands during peak seasons is quite a hassle as i've spend few hours browsing website and calling the hotels for securing a room for 2 nights (i did it in 2 week advance mind you). Ends up i managed to get a room in a budgeted hotel in Brinchang town which is still okay apart from the sudden malfunction of the water heater when you're using it for too long (grr...).

Here's some snapshots of the memorables trip...



Steamboat dinner with KP, Meiru and Desmond(taking picture for us) at Brinchang town which is not that good (in terms of quality and quantity) compares to Sri Petaling's Ho Ho Steamboat.

To conclude this whole trip, i would say that it was a pleasant holiday and this place is definitly a great place for someone to unwind from the hectic city lifestyle as it has cool, easy goin, and relax enviroment up here.
