Location Date Langkawi And Penang Cameron Highlands And Kuala Lumpur
After a four hour minibus journey to the Cameron Highlands, the temperature dropped considerably, which strangely enough I warmed too (excuse the pun). I met up with a French girl called Juliette, two French Canadians and a Californian lad called Kip and we went jungle trekking! Along the way, we bumped into a tea factory, had some of the best tea ever and the smell was unbelievably delicious! The scenery was constantly stunning and sometimes I just had to be still to take it all in. On the second day of jungle trekking we climbed up a mountain, and then on the way back we got caught up in a monsoon! Not the beat idea but we more than made up for it with a strawberry juice treat fresh from the local farm. Onto Kuala Lumpur and after a 5 hour journey I met the branch manager from Cromwell Alex For lunch. We have some interesting discussions before he took me to the incredible Skytower. I then went onto the petronas towers and saw how creative the human mind can be with such dynamic buildings. This is my final post before I set off for my new adventure to Australia!
