1st Trip of CA Family at Cameron Highlands - 1stDay

We whole family is very happy started from yesterday (29th Aug 2008) night because we have started busy on packed luggage, charging camera, checking car status, food preparing and etc….. The happier person is my both little sons, eldest is Samuel and youngest is Isaac. The trips will not only our family but will join together with Demi (my wife brother daughter).

We started our trip at house on 7am morning then drop on Klang town to having a breakfast before keep on journey. I’m taking around 3hour to arrived Ipoh town located at Perak state because I choosing a new way to Cameron Highlands where my friend recommended is easy tracking compared with Tapah way.

After the long journey and arrive to Ipoh town with the famous of white coffee, we are feeling hungry and planned to have a great lunch before started to climb the mountain. I recommend my wife to try on the famous noodle ‘Ipoh Sha Hor Fun’ and famous Old town fruit Rojak.

I taking another 1hour 15minute started from Simpang Pulai junction to Blue Valley junction but as my friend information should be arrive less than 45minute because I driving slow. Cause of my journey take more than 5hour, my both sons include Demi get tired and get an afternoon sleep on the way from Simpang Pulai to Blue Valley. Around 1.25pm afternoon, we saw an Equatorial Hotel landscaping on a side of high mountain level and we decided to wake up our sons & Demi to let them know we have been arrive Cameron Highlands. Since all of us feel tired too and we also didn’t make any early booking for hotel, so we decided to get in hotel first….. Finally satisfy with walk-in Parkland Hotel located at centre of Brinchang town. Around 2.15pm afternoon, we just only completed settle room check-in and moving ours luggage to room. This was what I saw from my hotel window …….



The first visit point my eldest sons suggest is to visit Strawberry Farm because he like strawberry….. After I read on the maps the nearest point is Big Red Strawberry Farms just behind the POS office, so we decided to drop by there. Wow!! There are very big farms….. Not only have strawberry but many things as vegetables, fruits, flowers and etc….

Second point, we going to visit Cactus Valley but only drop by few minute because all of us not very interested on cactus…… so the journey will keep on going until Multicrops Central Market. My sons like there too because many type of snack & beverage can bought over there…..

On the night time, we planned to walk & dinner at Night Market (Pasar Malam) because as information there will have a lot of delicious food & beverage and all the store setup by local people.
