*Cameron Highlands Trip part 3*

wooh!! sorry for not having the updates for so long...
sent my CPU for servicing.. and just gotten back..

finally it's back to live!!

Have so much things to update... hee..

ok, we will start from the day 2 of my cameron highlands trip..

Day 2:-
- Sunrise Spectacular
- Nature Discovery Tour
- BOH Tea Plantation
- Visit at the Orang Asli Village

Woke up early in the morning, about 5.30am we prepared for the trip to almost the highest peak of the mountain. Not to take a stroll nor a visit to any farm but to view the sun rise! The early morning air was cooling and fresh. Even dar finally need a sweater. The tour came with a cup a coffee or tea, and it was amazingly a need at that point of time. Everyone held the warm liquid with care and as if their precious.The view was nice but unfortunately, the sun was covered up by the cloud.
Took quite alot of the sunrise pics.























Before we head back to the hotel, the tour guide let us stroll downhill where we took some pics of the scenery. We got a nice view of the tea plantation and the air in the morning is so so so refreshing.















Follow on we headed back to hotel and have breakfast, then dar slept for 30min which he think is a must. ...

After that we go to the Mossy forest, where we view some "herbal plant" the golden needle leaf, the ginger plant, tiger palm plant and there's this flower called the cobra lily that only grow on top of the mountain due to the cooling temperature and we were not allow to touch it because our body temperature will kill the flower. It was called the cobra lily because it flower shape looks like a cobra head.













The next trip was to the famous Tea plantation. The field of tea plants were shocking, even before I came to plantation , I've seen these organize field of tea and they were grown everywhere, even the steepest side of the mountain.
We visited the factory and see how the tea are made.

















The different process of the tea leaf making

Stage One: forgot already as not able to view it =p
Stage two: Rolling
Stage three: Fermentation
Stage four: Drying
Stage five: Storing

Enjpying our tea and the cooling air at the BOH tea cafe







Next we went down hill to find a group of villagers we called the orang-asli.The special things about these people are , they once came from the forest. They had been living like those "Red Indians" in those forest or jungle , living on the wildlife and natural resources they can get. When the govenment realised these, they brought them to the civilisation and provide them with eduactions and any expenses they need. 1st, to keep the forest safe. 2nd to give them a better life.
Their life were a freedom to dream of, they can build houses whenever they want. In the past, they receive free food from government...everything is free, so they wasn't worried about money or stress about the market.









When the night comes, we go back to the steamboat place and have a nice dish again. The steamboat experience will never be forget and never get tired of.
With a full stomache, we dropped by the Night market. It's like Singapore's Pasa Malam but jus bigger than they sell alot of funny things.























That is end of our cameron highlands trip..
