Malaysia Part II - Blogabond

Singapore and Malaysia were our rescheduled destinations for the next two weeks as we did not nearly enough cover all of what we wanted to see, let alone what the two nations have to offer! Our changes were made due to the unrest in central Indonesia at the time of travelling, but we are still planning to travel through Bali and Lombok, circumstances permitting.

So one night in Singapore knowing that we would soon be back meant that we were on our way up North, we had a stopover in Melaka, Malaysia. Again it was a whirlwind stop here as we made our way to where we wanted to be, and that was to the wonderful Cameron Highands. It was a destination that came to be highly recommended by many people that we have met along the way of our travels, so we couldnt resist. And when we arrived we could see why they had recommended it so much. Unlike the choatic city of KL, or the quiet suburbs of Melaka; Cameron Highlands, is high up, and you are in the middle of nowhere, and all that is around, are one many of the acres of tea tree plantations.

During our retreat in the hideaway town of Tanah Rata, we went on a countryside tour, and saw the famous Boh Tea Plantations, we also visited a Rose Garden, Butterfly Farm, Insects Farm, Strawberry plantations and saw where the rich spent their time in the highlands. The best part of our stay however was the fact that we got to eat some of the best curries and indian breads in the world. The taste of the food from kumar's Restuarant will never leave my mouth!

Next stop Georgetown whilst we deliberate whether to visit the Perhentian Islands or Taman Negara, the worlds oldest rainforest......
