We're enjoying the fresh air and greeness of the Cameron Highlands! We got in yesterday and made our way to the lodge we're staying at, it's away from town, surrounded by beautiful gardens and quite misty. They leave all the windows and doors open so we can enjoy the refreshing air. This of course means that Rose is on bug watch, but it hasn't been too bad. When we first sat down for lunch, Kev left to get something from the room and a small rooster walked out from behind a chair. He has been our meal companion ever since, clucking softly while we eat, sometimes falling asleep if we're not entertaining enough. I don't know how he manages to show up everytime we eat, but he does.
This morning we went on a tour of a nearby tea plantation and their tea shop. We then went on a very short walk through the "mossy forest" and were shown a number of medicinal plants, etc. It was pretty cool. We then hiked to the top of the highest point for a view (that sounds hardcore but we'd driven most of the way up so we walked all of 7 minutes). The view was pretty incredible. Finally we visited an aboriginal resettlement village. We felt a little strange, treating the people like fish in an aquarium, and they looked at us about the same way. After lunch, Kev and I went for a non-guided walk along one of the paths, which was also good.
Now we're just killing time before dinner. Boy we sound lazy.
Off for now, until next time.
