Back from Holiday - Cameron Highland. I am happy to do 8km per day there.

I was very happy that I was able to exercise on Sunday. After my exercise, I put all my belonging in a bag and returned to Singapore.

Throughout the 5 days, I was able to exercise at Cameron. I realised that Cameron is not that cool in the afternoon. My friend told me that the felling of the tree has brought the temperature up by 2 degrees centigrade. At night is was sometimes cooler and sometimes cold.

I was happy to have visited a strawberry farm which was about 30mins from the hotel that I was staying. I saw the fruits at a Malay Kampong and I saw them on a farm. Looks good to see it growing! I bought the strawberry for $6 ringgit. It was cheap as the farm was producing it.

In order to climb, one must go to Oly Apartment and to Camelia Garden to go to Gunung Jasar.

I was told about the Oly Apartment and that we need to go to and my Malaysian friend and I were going in the jungle path for about 30-40min. We were able to see the beautiful Cameron Highland. Later on, I decided to come down from the mountain, as it is written that going to the mountain will take a lot of time.

Picture 1 - Gunung Jasar pathway. 

I went to Parit Waterfall and the place looked quiet. It is easily accessible for anyone to go there. There is a place in Parit Waterfall where one could chat with friends and the place looks cosy and nice. There was greenery everywhere. We can have a panoramic view there at one of the huts made for people.

While going down on the bus, I saw the BOH TEA plantation and Bharat Tea Plantation. It was a nice scenery.

There were temples, churches and mosque in Cameron Highland.
