... of cake there and then walked back through the plantation back towards home. The country side here is beautiful and the weather was great for the few days we spent there. The get more than their fair share of rain during the year but we managed to avoid it.

With Father's Guest House we booked the next trip onwards to the Perhentian Islands. When the bus turned up on time and it looked exactly like the pictures we knew we weren't in Indonesia anymore.

... for a bus which they implied was leaving instantaneously. We were given the platform number and the numbers from the bus registration plate (most are in the form ABC 1234) and told to hurry . We dashed down the platforms and were told to put our bags into the luggage hold and get on the bus.

The place had a great little vibe which made it almost bareable for Jeff to be inactive ;) The bad news is that Cameron Highlands is so successful that it is being ravaged by over-develoment. Not only by the construction of ever more fake tudor hotels (I don't think that they built many twenty story tudor buildings back in the day) but also by the illegal clearing and ...
