Mood: Wibble
Music: Bloc Party - Silent Alarm (remixes)
Today started early due to the 7:30am pick up. We were stood outside the hotel until almost 10 past 8 until we started to panic a bit. Sure enough, going to ask the porter if it was likely to have gone without us made it appear around the corner.
A few circles of the city centre later, after we'd finished picking up all of the passengers, we actually set off for the Cameron Highlands. The minibus was full and I was squished up against a massive swiss guy who made me look very small in both dimensions.
Several hours later we arrived in the small town of Tanah Rata. The town is the central tourist destination for the area but comprises of nothing more than a bunch of guest houses, a number of travel agencies, restaurants, convenience/tat stores and a Starbucks... I had what must have been my first cup of coffee in 10 years in the Starbucks while using their internet (we have wifi in the hotel but it's proving quite unreliable and we need to sort hotels for KL). It's ok, I won't be doing that again in a hurry... Only hot chocolate from Starbucks for me from now on!
After that there was a little park with lovely flowers in and also the strange vegetable monument thing where Rolf is pictured below!
This evening I mostly killed time by getting a bit further in gta on the nintendo ds.
Tomorrow we have a full day tour of the surrounding area which is packed with things including a tea plantation, a strawberry farm and a butterfly farm!
Until again!
