1. Driving in Malaysia - especially on the winding roads up to the Cameron Highlands caused much excitement. One truck was racing down the hill and took the 'racing line' on one of the blind bends (well, maybe it was one of the 'partially sighted' corners). Thankfully, the brakes on our Hyundae prevented a collision. On the way back down, we then had to deal with a car randomly pulling out into oncoming traffic for no apparent reason...

Visited 2 tea plantations - we had the mad tourist trap of the Cameron Valley Tea shop on the main road and the slightly more reasonably priced alternative tourist trap (scones were cheaper) of the Boh tea planatation (http://boh.com.my). Tea at Boh was the highlight - pick up some Bukit Cheeding No. 53 if you like strong dark tea or the delightful Gunung Chantik - not too strong, but a nice flavour. Came up with a new term - the great 'un-poshed'. I don't think Caillie falls into the 'un-poshed' category - after all, two people are taking pictures of her! :-)

The roast beef was excellent, as was the leg of lamb and chicken and mushroom pie. The veg was grown in the Highlands and therefore pretty fresh. If you want to see Malaysians do 'English' better than the English, then have a look at the Cameron Highlands!
