BOH Tea Plantations. Cameron Highlands Hi everyone!!! 😊 and HAPPY PADDYS DAY to ye fellow Irish buggers.
Sorry we haven't updated in a few days but we've been manic and couldn't find decent enough net access.
After Melaka we went up to the Cameron Highlands. We were supposed to arrive there about 5 hours later but TWELVE hours later after a bus trip full of animals coughing everywhere and spitting food etc we got there. I was BURSTING for a pee and we finally stopped for a break after 6 hours. Went in the toilet and it was sooo gross. It was a squat toilet with no lock. So there I was squatting, trying to keep my trousers off the soaking wet floor and holding the door closed with my HEAD. The air was BLUE. Haha. Nick ofcourse found this all highly amusing.
Anyhoo. We got there and checked into our little guesthouse which we later made a fool out of ourselves in... details later.
We booked ourselves onto a half day tour of the Highlands that took us up to the Tea Plantations which were SOOO beautiful!! It was really cool up there which was nice. We also went to a
Mozzy bite on my lip
Holly got kissed by a mosquito! rose garden that had a remake of the old women who lived in a shoe up a mountain. I LOVED this it was so so cute 😊 im blatently gonna get one made in my garden when I have more money!!! Then went to a butterfly garden where I held a gecko and a massive horned beetle and had butterflys land all over us!!!
Second day we hadn't really slept very well as we kept hearing animals howling and barking in the forest behind the hotel. But we went on a full day tour where we went to meet an Orang Asli hilltribe which was wicked 😊 it was amazing seeing how they lived and we've got some cool photos of Nick having a boogie with the tribeman 😉 hahaha.
He took us to a waterfall in the jungle and when we got out he told us to check for leeches. I thought he was joking so laughed and pulled up my trouser legs and there it was. A big fat black leech hanging off my leg. RANK!!! To make matters worse it bit me on a mosquito bite which was already swollen. So the tribeman starts ripping bits
rose Garden, CH
The rose Garden in Cameron Highlands of paper up with his filthy hands and sticking them to my leg HAHA. Was so surreal... Could only happen to me!
On our last night we asked the indian lady running the hotel about the howling and barking and what it was. She hadn't heard it at all and assumed it was wild dogs... Then later on we kept hearing meowing from the room opposite ours which was empty so we went in to investigate. What we hadn't realised was that the owner of the guesthouse had come up with a couple who were going to be staying in the room. So we were standing there and crawling around the floor looking for this *cat* HAHA. We said to her that we could hear a cat and they all obviously thought we were insane becuase the noise decided to miraculously all but stop when they went to listen to it. She must have thought we were nutters keep hearing all these noises HAHAHA. You had to be there but it was sooo embarassing...
So we travelled accross from the Highlands to Penang for a night (no mum... We didnt swim with the jellyfish LOL) Penang was

The remake of the old lady who lived in a shoe :) SO CUTE!!! just like any other city in Malaysia... Pretty boring and scruffy I hate to say. So we caught the early morning ferry to LANGKAWI! Where we are now 😊 I will update about Langkawi in the next 2 days when we have more pictures etc but this place is seriously my favourite place in the world. It is so so stunningly beautiful. White sand beaches, blue sea, little bars on the beach, character, Its perfect!! And we have a cheap beach hut that is directly on the beach 😊 AMAZING!! Spending St Paddys night tonight in the Irish bar then going to see the Reggae band play 😊 hope there's some mad irish people about to share it with!!
