Ok digging back a bit in the memory for this one...arrived in the Cameron Highlands on the 23rd of September and it was like being on holiday in Devon. On arrival we were offered a cream tea (scones and all!) and then it began to pur down! Our journey from KL was an eventful one and accumilated in the bus driver marching up the bus with a 4ft cane which he used to bash up some of the passengers...interesting, us and 2 other westerners were the only ones allowed off thankfully. Whilst there we trekked into the jungle for 3 hours to see the worlds largest flower the Rafflesia. Tehy take 6 months to bloom and really are quite amaxing. They only flower for about 6 days and after that they begin to smell like rotting meet and attract tigers, eek. Lucky for us it was day 2!!! We also visited the Boh tea plantation, walking 4 miles through the tea fields and then arriving at the factory, witnessing the tea making process and washing it all down with a cup of their finest. We also visited an aboriginal village and learnt how to use a hunting blow pipe (useful!) Dad there's one on its way to you in the post! What else did we do?....well we had several cream teas, ate a steamboat which is a large chinese bowl of boiling soup to which you add seafood, meat, veggies, noodles etc...a complete feast and had several lunches off of a banana leaf with all kinds of indian delights (hey! it was cold up there we had to eat to keep warm) after 3 days though we'd had enough of the rain and cold and took a minbus for 7 hours over to the east coast headed for Malaysias showcase islands the Perhentians....
