Vacation to Cameron Highlands

Hi there,

It's been so long I didn't update this blog. I'm very busy with works and kids. Well, I'm going to share my experience going on vacation with my husband and kids recently.

My husband was on outstation (Papua New Guinea) for more than a month in June 2009. Kids missed him very much. My daughter missed him more, I guess. She's having high fever and always cried searching for her father every morning when she woke up.

Due to that, my husband and I planned to go for 3 days vacation to Cameron Higlands, our most preverred place for vacation, after he came back from Papua New Guinea. we love this place very much and this is the place where we go for our first and second honeymoon.
So, the planned became real in early of July. This time we stayed at Equatorial Hotel which is situated at the highest accessible point at Cameron Highlands. If I'm not mistaken, this hotel is about 1,500 metres above the sea level. This hotel is surrounded by beautiful mountains and vegetable farms. It also has beautiful garden that is loved by my kids. They love to be there, running around while eating strawberry.

Beautiful, well planted garden

Heritage Hotel
My husband and I used to stay at Heritage Hotel during our first honey moon trip. This is another beautiful hotel. It is a unique, tudor style hotel located at Tanah Rata. However, for this time of visit, Equatorial Hotel is our preferable choice.

Bharat Tea Shop
Our compulsory place to visit is the Bharat Tea Shop. It is situated just beside the main road between Tanah Rata and Habu and it is very easy to access. We can shop variaties of tea and souvenir here and can have a relaxing views of tea plantation while sipping tea.

Vegetable stalls
Then, we went to Habu. We bought cabbage and sweet corn there. Habu is famous with vegetable farms and vegetable stalls.

Bee farm
This is another interesting place to go. Instead of it's bee farming, it also offers various product from honey. Here is my kids's foto, sitting calmly for the photo to be taken. They really enjoyed this vacation, with their father :)

Kea Farm
Is situated near to Equatorial hotel. Kea Farm offers various products which is locally produced. We can shop vegetables, fruits, shirts, souvenir, strawberry based products, strawberry pillows etc. We bought mugs with strawberry pictures printed on it :)

Butterfly farm
Another place we won't miss to go. This farm is situated not far from Kea Farm and Equatorial Hotel, along the way downhill to Tringkap. We can experience of having rabble of butterflies flying around. And not to forget, the rabbits!! My daughter loves 'em very much.


Rose Valley
The most memorable place for me myself. This is the place where our lovable pictureas taken during our honey moon trip to Cameron Highlands. The picture is still hanged beautifully, strategically in our bedroom, just to remind us on how sweet to be in love.
We can find more than 400 varieties of roses in all shapes and sizes here. I love the black and light blue rose.

Well, Cameron will always be the most preferable place for us to go for vacation. There are many other places which I don't put inside this blog. And this is the most enjoyable trip after being a mother to 2 kids.
