Sipping Tea in the Cameron Highlands




(Top:Taking a breaking during our hike at Robinson Waterfall. Exploring the local insect population, Dave stepped on this guy's leg and broke it off. Watching the rain pour into the valley over cups of tea. On the road, looking to see how far our destination was from us still).

The Cameron Highlands are fantastic! It is cold (10-21 degrees), there is rainforest, lots of hiking trails and all kinds of weird looking creatures. The tea plantations have been here since the 1920s and were great to explore. We've rediscovered strawberries here, there seems to be more of a boost on strawberries than the tea plantations. Dave and I took shelter from the rain, as it rains a lot here, at Boh's Tea Estate sipping teh tarik (a frothy tea beverage, where tea is pulled or stretched from one glass to another). Up in the air whether we hit Kuala Lumpur or explore some smaller towns in the area. The mountains prevent us from any travel to the east coast.
