Cameron Highlands – rain rain rain

Unfortunately, we had not the best weather.  Clouds all over and it rained most of the day. No hiking (not well equipped for that) 

You can see the clouds nearly down to the town…. So a small room, nothing else to do than hanging around and walk the main road there and back. I got a little depressed but I hope it will be better tomorrow if we reach the shores of the sea in Pangkor. Only solace for today was a quite good coffee 

and my wife which was optimistic as alwasys. Love you for this .

Cameron Highlands -Tanah Rata

after a 4 hrs very comfortable bus ride arrived in Tanah Rata. Climate changed dramatically and after being the last days in BKK and KL I can breathe fresh air and temperatures around 24 celsius. The Hillview Inn is an old small hotel and it reminds me with this charme to the times 15 years ago. Because of the cool climate an air  con is not needed and we can sleep with open windows, looking forward to it.

Tanah Rata is just a single road with a bunch of shops, restaurants and travel agencies. We are a little bit on the hill so far from that. Bought our tickets already for next trip and made the plan for tomorrow. Hiking and may be rent a motorbike for half a day. 

Small but with an enclosed bathroom, breakfast is served downstairs for 1,50€ per person. Perfect.
