Bukit Larut or formerly known as Maxwell Hills is one of the beautiful spots here in Taiping. This is also the oldest hill station in Malaysia and was founded since 1884. My Hubby has always been mentioning this place to me ever since we got married ( oh, and that was almost 7 years ago!) and finally we were able to visit that place yesterday afternoon. It was not a planned trip but was more like a spur of the moment decision.
It was a very hot afternoon yesterday, even the ice cream didn't help to cool us ( and our tempers) down..LOL! I guess It must be due to hormones that I was so cranky and moody yesterday. Then, my Hubby searched the number of Maxwell hills and was able to call the people in charge and make arrangements. It was already 1:30 pm when he called. And the officer in charge said, we have to be at the base by 1:50 pm to be able to ride the 4 wheel drive to the top. So, as fast as we could, we made ourselves ready and packed the children.. err. .. our things!
It was quite a scary ride going to the summit. The road ( one way road) was so narrow and steep. Tricia was amused by the shape of the road and was crying out " Oh, this road is shaped like an S!" , This road is shaped like a "U"! and so on. We had to constantly hold the bars of the the jeep so to keep us from falling. The only relief that we had was knowing that the the driver of our jeep has been working there ( as a driver) for the past 12 years. So, it means he's already an expert driver to the top and can drive with his eyes closed..oppss.. " Please lah, Abang, don't do that lah".
On the way to the top, we already felt the weather getting cooler and nicer. Ahh.. it was there
that I realized that it's good that we made this trip up the hill. There are beautiful trees and flowers all around. We could see the whole of Taiping from there. The bungalows and houses on top were nice. But it's quite obvious that these houses has been there for years as some of them were dilapidated and not maintained well. My favorite place is the Cendana Resort as I like the design of the building and it's surrounded with beautiful flowers. Their rooms are also nice and cozy. So, just had coffee at their coffee shop and had a walk downhill to see more places. The kids enjoyed our time their and Tricia love picking the wild flowers that were just at the side.
All in all, it was a beautiful afternoon especially as we have seen the beauty of God's creation from the top of the hill. Amazing!
I'll be posting more photos and details on Bukit Larut in my Travel Blog. See you there!
