Hotel Bb Inn Cameron Highlands

... in front got stuck so we had to all get out and walk the rest of the way. <br>There is a point when you get caught in the rain without an umbrella that you think you can't get any wetter......the same applied to tramping though mud. The paths the 4 wheel drive couldn't get through were so deep and so wet and sloppy that you had to just concentrate on staying up right and not worry that you have just stepped in a muddy puddle that was ankle deep.<br> <br>We ...

... attempt to open the window would lead to the chair leaning out, and the remote dropping 4ft with a bang. Any attempt to tamper with the curtain would have the same effect. Trying to climb in anyway would lead to a huge collapse over the furniture - there was no way to get around it. Paranoid maybe, but I ain't letting these thieving f*ckers get my stuff if I can help it! You like? See photos then!<br>Anyway, the next day I grabbed the second bus to Cameron Highlands, which ...

... 6 and a half hours to get there, but for my surprise it doesn´t take you straight into the Cameron, it stops in Patah, this is a village (again jajajaj) of 10 houses and 2 restaurants spread up along the road so, I have a seat in one of the restaurants and order a tea, no one speaks English so I don´t get my tea! All this with a good head ache, after 15 minutes I notice that they have no intention on serving me the drink so I ask a young pretty lady if she can show me ...

... enjoy a certain place and according to other travelers, Yen was the real deal in taking people off the beaten path. <br><br>The next day we got up and met up with Yen at the designated spot. The two British girls were running a bit later than us but we figured if we asked him to wait he would. Not a chance. A middle-aged Chinese man came running past us and said, "If they're not here, they don't know where to meet me!" and kept on going. I looked ...

... sting! If you just let them once they had filled up on salt they would just fly off on there own accord. Shelleys phobia of bees/wasps was about to be seriously tested! At any one point in time you would find yourself with around 20 wasps crawling all over your body. Thye fact we was covered in sweat from the hike ensured we became there food court for the afternoon. The only escape was to jump into the water. However when shelley had a particularly hungry bee feeding on ...

... intact. Our group is made up of Ruth and James,Steve,myself and two other girls who are back packing. Its not long before Vesu realizes that I'm lagging behind at the back and he whips me up to the front. The snag is I've got to keep up instead of two steps and a breather. I mentally note for the umpteenth time that I must do more sessions at the gym. Eventually it dawns on Vesu that he's flogging a dead horse and he promotes James ...

... about our week on pretty (if slightly rubbish strewn) Pulau Pangkor, as there was a lot of sitting on the beach under a huge shady tree, admiring the hornbills and the colossal monitor lizard, and eating lots of chicken fried rice. Pangkor goes a bit mad at the weekends but is very sleepy during the week and we got rather settled there.<br><br>We're now in lovely Georgetown - more in the next journal !<br><br>love Helen and Andy

... daarna lekker bij de open haard in de lounge zitten met een Koffie verkeerd. Tycho maakte nieuwe Nederlandse vriendjes waarmee hij het hotel rondrende terwijl hun ouders erachteraan joegen, aangezien zij later waren begonnen met eten. Leuk om ook eens naar andere stressende ouders te kunnen kijken vanuit een dikke fauteuil. Nadat we de kinderen in bad hadden gedaan pakten we alvast de tassen in en gingen we ook zelf lekker vroeg naar bed.

... the jungle and to sample the tea plantations (famous in the area). Well, after 5 hours and avoiding the rain Kali looked at us and asked, 'do you want to go for another 2/3 hours?'... so we did. We headed along rarely used tracks and along river beds, through over grown unmarked routes and under numerous fallen trees, over tee planatations and through flower gardens, over mountains and traversed rivers. Along the way Kali ...

... jungle, whilst being given a lesson in survival using the plants. It was great fun, and I know it sounds harsh, but as Alex and I were prepared with our walking shoes, we were laughing at those in flip flops squelching in the deep mud. Our last stop was at a butterfly garden which was much better than we expected. Alex and I kept putting the big butterflies on our shoulders and walked around with ...
