A Holiday in Cameron Highlands
During last weekend,my parents decided to take us to Cameron Highlands.In the morning,we packed
our clothes and loaded them into my father's car.We hit the road at 7 a.m. in my father's Suzuki Swift.
The road to Cameron Highlands was crooked and my mother was a bit lightheaded.The road was
filled with fog.The scenery along the road was eye pleasing.We chit-chatted along the way.After a five
hours drive,we arrived at our destination.Cameron Highland has cool mountain air.Although our country
is facing haze problem now,the air there was still free from pollution.It is a form escapism from all the
hustle and bustle of the city life - translating into another dimension of peace and serenity.
First,we visited to the bee farm.We could see bees flying freely and pollinating.We could purchased
some pure honey and honey products sold there.At first,I was scared to see the bees flying freely as I
thought it would sting us but soon I realised that they wouldn't sting us if we didn't disturb them.Then,we
moved to our second location.
Our second location was the Boh Tea Plantation.The teas were planted on terraced hill slopes.We
also did not miss the chance to take some screenshots there.We also saw a waterfall there.The sound
of water cascading from the top of the mountain was soothing to our ears and nerves.We were
mesmerised by the crystal clear water.Our warm bodies chilled when the cold mountain water caressed
our body.As we were enjoying the waterfall,it started to rain and we dashed to find a spot to take shelter.
After the heavy downpour,we decided to stop at one of the many strawberry parks in Cameron
Highlands.Before leaving the tea plantation,we made sure to buy some fresh tea.We decided to visit the
Big Red Strawberry Farm.A lot of strawberries were cultivated there.Salad and lettuce plants are also
planted there.We had our tea time there.We bought some strawberries and souvenirs to take back
home.
As the sun slowly set under the horizon,we knew it was time to say goodbye to this awesome
place.We had a whale of a time in Cameron Highlands and we truly enjoyed ourselves.
