Tuesday
A party of eight of us took off early to the Cameron Highlands , one of the areas the Memsahibs would go to escape the heat of the summer. The road up there was rather twisty, but we were told they were a great improvement over a few years ago!
It was certainly much cooler there, and we arrived just in time for lunch. Anne could see from my face that I was not looking forward to yet another Chinese meal, however it turned out to be quite tasty. I can’t do with the spices, so I had sweet and sour instead while Anne tucks in to her spices and garlic.
Our guide joined us to take us firstly to a tea plantation, where after a tour of the plant we sampled the tea, together with cream scones! After other visits to a butterfly farm and a hydroponic strawberry and salad farm, which was really interesting.
Back to Ipoh- then in the evening, guess what? Dinner at a Chinese restaurant! But as always the company was fantastic, I even managed some of the spicy bits!
