A Breather in the Mountains




















































We decided to take a break to enjoy the crisp, cool and fresh mountain air at Cameron Highlands a day before the Chinese New Year. We set out very early Sunday morning, not realising that many Malaysians ( mostly Malays and Indians) and foreign tourists had the same idea. There was a traffic jam at Brinchang, the leading town in the mountain that afternoon.

Except for the drizzle and the slow service at the only decent Malay restaurant at Brinchang (the cook must have been in shock at the large customer turnout), we had a really good and stress free day.The gorgeous scenery, fabulous uncommon flora, fresh vegetables and genuine strawberry tarts really made my day.

We are thinking of visiting Camerons again soon, to enjoy the jungle walk and maybe stay a few nights too. The mountain is indeed a good way of chilling out.
