How refreshing are the Cameron Highlands? Afetr sweltering in the heat of Kuala Lumput we headed to the hills for a bit of cool relief. Even got cold enough to wear a jumper!
The Cameron Highlands are lovely .... all tea plantations and strawberry fields interspersed with a few bee farms. Walked upto the Boh tea estate which was lovely so rewarded ourselves with a pot of their finest accompanied by cakes ..... sooooo civilised! It was really intersesting walking back through the small settlements and seeing how th ehousing differs from the lowlands. The whole place has a feel to it that I imagine is reminiscent of England in the 1920's ...... lots of mock tudor facing. The only thing that feels a little out of place are the giant plastic fruit and giant plastic bees that adorn the parks and sometimes the roadside........ yesterday we saw an 8 foot cabbage which was slightly bizarre!
The whole place is very touristy but it's aimed mainly at Malaysians which gives it an interesting edge .......
