Our Cameron Highlands Trip

Finally, we were able to set foot on Cameron Highlands! And I would say that Cameron is a very beautiful place and perfect for peace and relaxation. We stayed at the OMF Bungalow which is situated a bit far from the town proper. I love the bungalow's building design. Staying at their bungalow made me feel like we're in England ( especially with the cold weather and beautiful scenery surrounding it). Heheh! Tricia even calls it a 'castle'.

On our first day itself, we went to Brinchang town and visited the "Big Red Strawberry Farm'. There are actually countless of strawberry farms in Camerons but I'm glad we chose this farm because it's huge, nicely maintained and quite new. There we saw rows and rows of strawberry plants, flowers and other vegetables. And of course right after the tour we got to taste their strawberry waffle with ice cream. It was Tricia's and Lyle's first time to see and taste real strawberries so it was quite an experience for them.



The next morning, we visited the Boh Tea Plantation. I would say that this was the highlight of our trip and a 'must see' in Cameron Highlands. Though the long, narrow and winding road seems a bit tricky to some of the drivers but you'll never regret going there. The scenery is just amazing with the huge tea plantation. It's like the mountains were covered with a beautiful green carpet. We had to walk all the way up to their cafe but the view was even much better up there. And of course, who can't resist taking a sip of the famous Boh Tea with a bite of the scones and apple pie. ( photos reserved for my Yummy Sunday post).



Then in the afternoon, on our way back home, we also visited other farms, the Butterfly Garden, The Honey Bee Garden and Kea Farm. So, that was our short but sweet trip to Cameron Highlands. It was not like Branson vacations but I'm thankful to God for giving us the opportunity to visit that wonderful place. Hope to go back there next time and stay longer..


I'll post more photos and details on my travel blog.
