Cameron Highlands


The last few days Adam and I have been staying in the Cameron Highlands in the center of Malaysia. We did a tour around the area yesterday and went to some local farms including an insect and butterfly farm. This was Adam's favourite as he got to hold a gheko and our tour guide actually made him hold a scorpion and put one on his chest. I was slightly freaked out and thankfully did not have to hold anything. There also was a bunch of caged snakes which I did look at from a distance.
Today we did a jungle hike (very uphill and muddy......no snakes though). Unfortunately the view from the top was covered in cloud. After we walked along a road through tea plantations. We went to one of the factories and had a quick tour. Very interesting. We definately have had our share of tea in the Highlands!

Hey - Wild Things
Pics are great.
Mountain hike souonds spectacular - how was the hiking inthe dark given that there seems to be a rope - presumably for DAYTIME safety??
