The Cameron Highlands
We hadn't planned where to go after the Perhentians. We got back to the mainland and, slightly on the spur of the moment, bought a transfer to the Cameron Highlands. We ended up, several hours later, at Father's Guest House in Tanah Rata, with a room in an old Nissen hut, which makes a fantastic noise when it rains.
Actually, it rained a fair bit while we were there, which necessitated sheltering in a nice cafe we found, and enjoying cream teas; they're big on strawberries in the Cameron Highlands, and there seems to be a strong influence left over from the British colonial days, which manifests itself in Land Rovers and scones.
One day we went on a mossy forest tour, which took us up to the top of one of the local peaks for views over the surrounding area, followed by a short nature walk through a mossy forest (who'd have guessed it?). We also visited the Boh tea plantation, where we saw tea being picked in the fields and also had a brief tour of the factory.
