Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Share June 7, 2009 Went up to Cameron Highlands in a 3-car convoy from 4th Jun to 6th June. To clear things up abit, i set off from Singapore on 3rd June and spent the night at my kampung near Muar. We set off from Muar in a 2 car convoy with the 3rd car joining us at KL. Preparing to move out from Muar.. Stopover at a relative's house at KL..Final briefing for the 3 drivers.. Reached Habu..stopover to buy some local produce for dinner.. This is the place where we spent our first night..Right smack in the middle of BOH's tea plantation at Habu. The place is built in 1929 by the owner of the plantation. Kinda reminds me of those old Tekong bunks. Cost RM7 per night per bed. To reach the place, we have to drive about 10km of these single lane gravel roads. Slight mistake and that's it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Author Share June 7, 2009 A short trip up the hill(more like a mountain) behind our 'bunk'. Again, reminds me of chiong sua during army days. Especially when i'm lugging 5kg worth of camera gears and a 3kg tripod. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Author Share June 7, 2009 Dinner time. We cooked our own dinner in the communal kitchen and ate them at the dining room(also communal). Convoy getting ready to move out from the plantation to our next destination. A short drive away and we reached Tanah Rata. Tanah Rata post office..opened in 1956..

Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Author Share June 7, 2009 The peak of Gunung Berincing.. The highest point of Cameron Highlands. Note: Gunung means Mountain in Malay. Dinner time. Yummy organic steamboat. The stove uses Charcoal as heat source. Cost RM19 per person. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Author Share June 7, 2009 At cactus farm. Some nice pics to share. Self-pluck strawberry farm. The blurred portion of the picture is caused by fence because only paying customers are allowed to go into the plucking area proper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shull Turbocharged June 7, 2009 Author Share June 7, 2009 (edited) i feel like going cameron after seeing ur pics very lovely place. i like ur gung ho family. buy new civic 2.0 immediately go trail. i'll feel heart pain for my ody just make sure to avoid weekends and malaysian school holidays..the jams there can be worse than CTE during peak hours..Also, the road in/out of some tourist spots is just wide enough for 2 saloon cars side by side (less than 1feet to spare on each side)..your ody will have alot of difficulties maneuvering the tea plantation roads. as for the car..that's what the 2L is for..i can overtake with ease even with full load..also, i won't dare to go up Cameron with my old ES8..
