My favorite part of the road trip was definitely Cameron Highlands. It was gorgeous! We loved being in cooler / dryer temperatures too. The tea plantations were breathtaking.
Our Hotel Balas was very quaint in a tudor-style schoolhouse;
however, it was FREEZING at night
and we had to really bundle up.
The kids' favorite stop was the STRAWBERRY FARM.
It was tacky tourist fun, but so delicious!
We enjoyed some beautiful rain forest hikes in the area.
Boys' pit stop.
Family fun! I love it when my kids are out in nature.
We went to the beautiful Lakehouse Hotel with our
French friends the Parot family. We enjoyed dinner
together and relaxing by the fire.
Last views of Cameron Highland in the morning light before heading out to our next stop.
It is so hard to imagine how many countries have tea plantations....not just Asia but also Africa. They are always breathtaking to view. But oh, how I remember watching the women work in the heat tending the plants.
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries are totally amazing. i bet they were delicious....LOVE the LONG stems left on them...so unique for we Americans. The children look happy, content and so enjoying this experience. So nice to be coolish after Singapore heat for three years.
I felt the exact same way about cameron highlands. So glad you enjoyed it! Love the family photo. It is adorable. What sweet and fun kids you have! p.s. meant to comment on the bday post about how adorable your dad is. You can tell he is such a sweet man!
