We made a short trip up to Cameron Highlands on a weekends just to chilled a bit. It was raining by the time we reached the Boh tea plantation in Bharat. Instead of stopping for tea and scones, we continue driving up to Tanah Rata where our hotel is. Well, it is stated on my reservation paper that check-in time will be at 3pm. But you know, some hotel never really bother about the time. Once the guest is there, they will allocate a room for them. But Heritage Hotel is different. 3pm means 3pm. Not negotiable at all. Well, since we have 2 hours to kill and our tummy is grumbling, we have to brave through rain and storm for some chicken rice. The chicken was left in the cold weather and has turned dried but when someone is hungry, everything seems so delicious.

Good thing the rain has stopped by the time we finished our lunch and we headed down to Bharat again to the tea plantation which was about 10 minutes drive only.

Blessed our Lord. Without him bringing the rain, I won’t have a nicer picture without the mist. While waiting for our tea and scones to be served, we camwhore a bit. And I mean not only a bit. A lot tho! Ahem, so Ladies and Gentleman…. you know my style la. This post is again being spammed by me with lots of photographs.

My son turned out to be my back-up photographer this time. Hey, he has got potential you know. I think I will teach him the SLR skills instead of pointing blankly with the PNS. And I wonder how he does this. The image is very clear but the background is totally over exposed.

Seeing that shots, Daddy is quite jeles and trying to out beat the Prince.

Scones are over priced at RM12 for this 2 miserable scones.

Well…the taste? I didn’t want to say that it is very very nice. Well, it is nice but anything that you eat while it is still hot is always delicious. I’m saying this cos the scones is already overrated by patronage so I’m trying to keep it a balance here. Tehehee…

After the camwhoring and tea break session in the Tea Plantation, we check-in to our hotel and started our touring. My main purpose going up to CH is to let the kids explore the nature and did a little education as how veges, fruits and flowers are grown.

Basically, we stop at every plantation we saw hoping to find something different each time. Unlike Genting Highlands, kids was let loose and run wild at the Theme Park. In CH, the kids did what the other tourist does.

Eldest Princess is now the new owner of my old Sony T-10.

I have no choice as Prince wanted to be part of us. He is seen here using his Daddy’s Sony Ericcsson camera phone and occasionally took over my dSLR when Daddy is hiding somewhere no where to be seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Blame it on Global Warming, the weather is quite warm actually. CH used to be cooler than GH but now, it is the other way round. I still remember the last time we was in GH, we was freezing!

CH has turned too commercialized.

Home made icicles like this was sold everywhere at RM1. You know what? My city kids doesn’t know how to eat icicles! They keep on munching the ice from the top opening instead of pushing the ice from the bottom. Aiyah, where has their common sense go to? Baby Princess is even worst. She took the whole icicle out from the plastic! I almost fainted.

 

 

You should see Prince pretending eating the tomatoes. His mouth is so small, so sissy, I decided not to show you guys the pic. hehe…

Some of you might not be aware that Strawberry has season too. Best time to go CH is during Nov/Dec. This is what you get in May.

Unripe strawberries! But hey, this is my favourite shots of all!

 

Not only you see unripe strawberries, there is hardly any strawberry sold at the plantation. My chances of buying dried strawberries is dashed too.

Camwhoring time!!!

Son played photographer again and I told him to mimic my action.

See! Told you! His mouth is so small. Hehe… maybe he is not that vain like the Mummy. I think girls make a better camwhore than boys.

Baby Princess (read: Koala bear) wants to stick with Mummy again. *sigh…

This is not shot by me. I think must be Prince. So yea, this is his masterpiece again. I love the composition.

The dirty mug has turned out to be something beautiful.

… to be continue in Part 2 where we visited the hydroponic vegetable farm.
