Today we left Penang for Cameron Highlands (CH). The initial plan was to leave Penang early, have breakfast in Georgetown and then drive south to CH visiting some sights before hitting our hotel in Ringlet. As it turned out, we had a lazy breakfast at the hotel and the kids spent a few more hours at the pool before we even ventured out.
The weather started off nice and sunny but started to rain as we approached CH. We were lucky as the road into CH from the North is newer, wider and less windy. Didn't realise it until we left CH for KL the next day using the more treacherous road from the South. Some Malaysian drivers are really crazy putting other people's lives in danger by overtaking on sharp bends.
Anyways, we made it safely to CH but the weather remained awful. Decided against visiting some of the sights such as the butterfly farm etc but decided we cannot miss the Boh Tea Plantation. A good decision.

After what seemed like an endless windy road, we finally reached the entrance (yes only at the entrance of the plantation). The road into the plantation is even worst - one lane road for 2 way traffic - kinda felt like we were back driving in Italy's Amalfi Coast!

We parked at the guest parking and ......

| After a briefed tour of the visitor center (we arrived late and missed the factory tour but was allowed to walk around the empty factory), we sat down for a cup of Boh Tea Tarik (which would later become one of Tasha's favourite drinks) and a sardine puff |
