Drove up to Cameron Highlands which is 2000m above sea level. The landscape is dominated by lush tea plantations and strawberry farms.
The drive up between limestone cliffs and palm trees.
We stopped at the BOH plantation and had the tea making process explained and enjoyed the amazing views from the terraces.
From the tea plantation we had lunch on the terrace at the Golf Club
We then visited one of the many strawberry farms and the owner explained to us that his father had come from India 75 years ago and started the business. They have over 100,000 plants which they buy from Holland.
Later sampled the strawberries together with the ice cream and sauce!
We spotted a spidereater bird enjoying the nectar from the flowers
On the way to the hotel we stopped to look around the local market. You could buy plain strawberries, dipped in chocolate, strawberry chocolates, strawberry toys, bags etc. In fact strawberry overload! Yes, I did buy some strawberry jam!
Checked into our hotel, the Strawberry Park resort, set high in the hills, not so humid in very picturesque gardens.
Good night at Strawberry Park, enjoyed a Malay feast washed down by a Strawberry Fantasy. Gardens looked very pretty in the dark.
