Had breakfast at fathers Homestay. Bacon (rare in a Muslim country) and eggs on toast with coffee. Sitting in the sun with beautiful view. The weather was perfect on the two days I spent in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands. Hot and sunny with a cooling breeze during the day and cold at night. A big contrast to other areas where it is always hot and humid. Fathers Homestay was a great place to stay, helpful staff, good food, well situated on a hill, sold beer, lots of info on walks, guided walks if required and a good common room with TV etc.
A group of us decided to go on a trek today:
Simon - England
Paul - England
Ichi - Japan
Lind - Belgium
Shanita - Holland
A hard 4 hour walk encompassing 3 of the marked routs. This essentially involved climbing a hill in the jungle and descending to a waterfall on the other side. We saw a large black snake within the first 30min which put us all on our guard. However on the rest of the trip we so very little. Just a frog and a few birds. It was a hot hard days walking. I'm beginning to fell a bit fitter now. I've even moved down a notch on my belt.
We all had a few beers in the bar in town that evening.
