Jalan Gereja Tanah Rata Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia, 39000, 605-491-3888
Hey everybody, The Cameron Highlands are an old British outpost. Supposedly the British liked to come up here to escape the heat during colonial times. The landscape is made up of dramatic hills covered with tea plantations and strawberry gardens. The weather reminds me of the bay area with cooler temperatures, fog, and rain at night. There are many great hiking trails branching out from the town of Tanah Rata where we stayed. This location is also home to the largest flower in the world. How...

Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia michaeljudythe next day we had to say goodbye and fly to Miri. we'd origionally to travel overland through Brunei (quick geography bit for Lorna and those from Mrs Lloyds geography class: Malaysian Borneo is split into 2 states, Sabah and Sarawak, to get from Sabah to Sarawak overland you have to go through Brunei which is a seperate country). We'd heard from a few people that Brunei is v expensive and ordinary, not a good combo so we decided to fly over it since its cheaper. We had a relaxing evening i...
Miri, Malaysia squeak_1912
... in 2 hours time, the price was cheaper, it seemed like fate had stepped in, we now had time to grab a quick bite to eat and for the girls to stock up on more cake and cookies before heading off.<br><br>We headed for McDonald's, easy food, great A/C and nice toilets. We chowed down on big Macs and McChicken burgers and Ice cream....it was a hot day. As we got up to leave we noticed a big line of ants crawling over my rucksack...'Why is it always my ...
Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia carsonsontour2... bus ride, we finally arrived to Georgetown. We found a hostel and crashed out from the long day we just endured. Once we woke up we finally ventured out to see the famously colonial city and for the first few hours experienced well, nothing really. It was horrendously difficult to walk in during the day due to an immense amount of stalls taking over the sidewalks and an insane amount of traffic speeding through the streets. All we could really ...
Tanah Rata, Pahang, Malaysia izunia... discovered last night that bicycles are NOT allowed on the Expressways (oops) but if you fancy your chances you'll knock 30 kms off the journey to KL if you take it. The bits of my bum that got burnt on the island, have decided to peel off. I'm not surprised, wriggling around on a saddle for 10 hours a day would do that to a burnt rear. The medicated nappy cream I bought in Thailand works a treat and has now ...
Tapah, Perak, Malaysia 50oddThe locals said it couldn't be done: "Nobody hitchikes in Malaysia! There's too many of you! They'll be too afraid!" "We'll see you back at the hostel tonight lads......" the other travellers mocked! What do they know, five minutes & "Yes!!!!" A landrover pulls over & offers to take us to the next town, 13km away! Ok, so the entire journey is ...
Tanah Rata, Malaysia icarver... town to grab a bite to eat and to pick up some snacks and a power adapter for the trip up to the highlands. The bus wasn't very full today and after making a couple of deliveries around town we were on our way. As it was raining all day some of the mini waterfalls we saw on the way up to the Cameroon highlands were pretty cool, there were some awesome views as well! The first thing we noticed when ...
Ringlet, Pahang, Malaysia bass_ke... in England!) even though the top was covered in cloud when we got there so we couldn't really see much! A great day though! On a rather more lazy day we went to see a butterfly farm, which also had scorpions, spiders :0) and beetles. The butterflies were everywhere- you had to watch where you stepped! Off to Penang tomorrow - an island off the north-west coast - so will write more when we get there.
