It was a really really really pretty beach with super clear water. You could walk out and snorkel. It was really fun.What I liked best. There was a morning where we went out and snorkeled. It was incredibly clear. We saw coral reefs and a bunch of different fish. Some http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Pahang/Pulau-Tioman/blog-436397.html 20 de Julio.

So when the opportunity to visit a tea plantation presented itself I would quite literally get an overnight bus then sit for 7 hours in a bus station starting from 3am to get there.

On the way down we went for our ldquojungle trekrdquo which was very short as it started to rain too much and the tour guide promptly guided us back to the jeep. We were then driven to the biggest tea processing factory and gift shop. The company is called http://www.travelblog.org/Asia/Malaysia/Pahang/Cameron-Highlands/blog-433290.html We took the minivans up to the Cameron Highlands. This is in an area famous for tea and strawberries and they do great cream scones with jam. We arrived just in time for afternoon tea. We spent the afternoon looking around the small town and in the evening we met up for a steamboat dinner. This was very similar to the one I had in Vietnam a few weeks before.

Parit Waterfalls and the trail leading there is really great for beginners in jungle trekking and those who just want a taste of light trekking while in Cameron itself Its wellpaved and easy on the feet.

The bus was not overcrowded no one had tried to rip us off nor did we have any near collisions with other traffic or cows. Still the landscape was great as we traversed through many forest jungles and plantations. In Jerantut we were picked up by a travel agency which arranged our trip to and from TM.
