Rafflesia Hunting in the Cameron Highlands
... strenuous although it would take 4 or 5 hours. That should of been a warning.
Our guesthouse reintroduced us into the life of dorm living with thin walls and lots of noise.

In the evening we were going to go to these hot springs that were nearby, we ...
It's a small world after all!
... asking us if we were going to the guest house (she works there and was leaving for the day) and whether we'd like a lift in her 4x4. She spoke perfect English and she gave us a little history of the town and some ideas of things to do whilst we were in the Cameron Highlands.
