(Day 1)After visiting a few places (Check out : Part 1) we checked in at the Country Lodge in Brinchang at around 5pm. The price was quite affordable at RM98 per night. Had a good hot water bath and relaxed for a while before going out to visit the Brinchang town. The hotel is very near to the town so we chose to walk instead of driving. First place was the Handicraft Centre opposite Pasaraya Jimat and my wife bought some souvenirs and a Strawberry balloon for my son. Just walked around the area to get the feel in the town. :P It was quite cold as well and we stopped for dinner. One thing to note is the food there is expensive but not tasty at all. Took some photos of the old buildings in the town and headed back to hotel as it started to rain. Good thing to note is, it only rains for about 10 minutes each time then it stops. It rained quite a few time during our stay here but only to a maximum time of 10 minutes. And there will be no indication that it is going to rain. It just rains.. :P
(Day 2)The next morning, while it was raining we headed to one of the Vegetable market along the roadside.Suddenly, when I saw outside the shop there was fog outside.It was a scene to enjoy. It was as if we were in the middle of the clouds. So white and so cooling..
End of the Journey
After a few visits in Tea Plantations and a few other places (check out my post : Part 2 ) it was already around 4.30pm and we decided to end our journey in Brinchang and head back home. This time we used the Tapah road as wanted to experience the dwindling road over here.. hehehe.. This road definitely takes longer than the Simpang Pulai road. We made a quick stop at the Cameron Valley Tea House to buy some Premium Tea and Green Tea. On the way down, we stopped quickly to snap a few pictures at Lata Iskandar Waterfall. I still remember this place during my last visit which was roughly 18-19 years back. That time there were a lot of people having fun in the waters. Now, there were a sign board there that warns us that the water is polluted and we should not swim or drink from the water. Sigh....sad sad sad... Took us roughly 2 hours to reach the bottom of the highland and another 2 hours to reach our home in Kajang due to traffic jam in KL.. Altogether, this was an enjoyable and adventurous experience for both of us and would definitely go there again in future!
