Cameron Highlands Trip

It was a last minute decision to take leave on Merdeka Day(31st August) after I was told that I still have 2 more public holidays to take.Thinking to relax at home and do some shopping. Anyhow, I followed Sophia and her sisters headed up to Cameron Highlands for a day trip since I've not been outing for "so so long"(longing for long holiday really).This is my second trip to Cameron Highlands. The journey took up about 2 1/2 hours.We left home around 715 in the morning. The hills road was extremely long and winding. I had motion sickness but was okay after that. We passed by few small towns, Ringlet, Tanah Rata and Brinchang.Unfortunately the weather was bad on that day, raining on and off. The temperature was just nice..it's a comfort zone for me. However, we managed to go to strawberry farm, butterfly garden, Boh Tea Plantation, vegetables and fruits market as well as cactus valley. The vegetables are dirt cheap and fresh. I bought like 13 packs of different fruits and vegetables for only RM10 and some sweet potatoes too. Beside that I bought a huge and long white carrot for only RM2!!! Tried some passion fruits and strawberries that we plucked from the strawberry farm. Cameron apple tastes sucks though its really juicy. Boh Tea plantation is awesome. The tea trees are greenish and beautiful.In cactus valley, I saw various type of weird and funky cactus. Although the journey was a bit harsh on the hill road, I enjoyed the most out of it.
