Cameron Highlands
Quite a contrast from the beaches of the past couple of weeks. I cannot really think of a worse journey to do with a hangover (other than maybe the road from the border of Cambodia to Siem Reap discussed earlier) than the journey to the Cameron Highlands. Being located in the mountains meant the roads meandered and my head was repeatedly banged against the window of the bus for a good 3 hours. Still, upon arriving, the lush rolling hills and cool air were a nice contrast to the past few weeks, and the accommodation at 'Fathers Guest house' was nice, clean and wildlife free, very welcomed.
Having booked ourselves on the half day tour with what seemed like everybody else at the guest house we set off for the tea plantations. We had a great tour guide who took us on a trek through the jungle and taught us some pretty interesting things, however, for me this bought back memories of school trips, since Ben and I at the back, spent most of the time figuring out how to get the most ridiculous and childish photos we could in this beautiful setting. Following this we stopped off at the tea factory before heading back to the guest house via the strawberry farm.
T- Unit!!
Rolling mountains covered in tea.......with three morons ruing the foreground.
By now you may of also noted my new replacement hat.....ridiculous isn't it. It turned out that if we were going to get to Ao Nang in time to meet the others we'd need to leave that night, so off we went....to Thailand.
