Cameron Highlands


We've travelled into Central Malaysia after our 3 day visit to Kuala Lumpur. The CH are a definite change in climate and pace from KL. We are staying in an old British girl's boarding school slighlty outside of town. We had a fantastic sleep last night- very quiet and cool. The scenery is amazing- lush, green, and hilly. We visited the BOH tea plantation today (photo), and watched the process of making tea. It seems to rain here every afternoon around 2pm for a few hours, which is why we are taking refuge in this internet cafe. We've been eating at a South Indian restaurant- various vegetarian dishes served on a big banana leaf for about $3 each- fantastic!

We plan to do a little hiking tomorrow, and then we will head back to the coast to Georgetown Penang. It may be our last stop in Malaysia, before we hit some beaches in Thailand.

We hope that you are all well, and feeling the Christmas spirit.
