from Cameron to Malacca

hello everyone, got those photos from my trip transferred to my laptop so i can finally share some with you all. went to Cameron on Saturday early morning through a very very long coach ride and explored the highlands for half the trip before heading down to Malacca for the last night and finally back to Singapore yesterday evening. coach was practically the only mode of transport we used throughout the 4D3N getaway. here are few of the photos from my iphone.






first stop was lunch stop somewhere in the middle of somewhere in Malaysia.




the room fatbro and i shared in the hotel of Cameron Highlands. they did not have nor need
air-con system in the rooms. during the night time, the weather is cold enough to keep chill
the room as long as you leave the windows open.




the morning view from the balcony of my room, it was pretty cold even in the early morning.




next day, first place we visited on Cameron Highlands was Rose Valley. this wall is near the
entrance of the world of flowers.



the next many photos are few of the many flowers found in the garden. they are all so bright
and beautiful: -












shot with fatbro. so glad i wore bermudas that day. so much walking around and chance of
getting those pants soiled.




photo credited to the person not in the photo.. haha.




some hanging wooden house in the garden.




next stop was the Bee Farm. somehow there are some lucky bees that managed to escape
and fly freely around the area. so had to be careful where we put our hands there.




one of the many boxes that house an average of 5000 to 10000 bees in the farm. there were
many signs around indicating that the owner will not be responsible for any bee attack. so, one
can be daring to open the artificial bee hive.




more boxes that house the bees.




the following stop was supposed to be a strawberry farm where they let you pluck strawberries
on your own at a fixed cost. somehow, my family decided to visit this place on our own instead.
it was nearby anyway.




one of the many pictures in the Time Tunnel was this decade old picture showing one of
Singapore's founding fathers, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. and as you would guess it, the boy beside him
is none other than our current prime minister.




old bottles collected by the private owner of the Time Tunnel and put on display.




more old bottles.




the second biggest tea plantation in Malaysia was the next stop. the slopes were too slippery for
us to go explore part of the hills.. ohh well but the view and air was awesome.




the view of the sky from the top of the tea plantation.




well.. technically, i'm not plucking the leaves.




the hotel room fatbro and i shared for the last night in Malacca. this place had way better wifi
than in the highlands. well, perks of the city.



next few pictures was the last day of exploring in Malacca. all i know was many buildings were
super old and were build by the Europeans and what not: -











okay, that is about it. all the above pictures posted are not edited at all so pardon me if some of the lighting isn't that great or what not.

Malaysia is a good country to explore and shop but i still miss the roads of Singapore for it is more orderly here and what not. however, Malaysian drivers are way more patient and forgiving than Singaporeans. haha.. that's the main observations i had during the long coach rides.
