Cold Strawberry Land part 1

Made a quite last minute decision to go for a trip at Cameron Highlands with my poly gals. It is also the first time all four of us travelled together. =)

Booked our trip with Five Stars Travel for coach and stay at Strawberry Park Resort in Dec.



As it's December, it is quite cold, but we didn't expect it to be raining everyday..

After around 10 hours of travelling, we reached Cameron Highlands. Then, we were told that there were no public transport for tourists and the taxi service is very limited. So, the only mode of transport would be our legs and the local tour bus.

After much discussion, we decided on 3 tours from Titiwangsa for a total of RM160.

Finally reached our hotel at around 11.30am. Finally..


Then, we went to have lunch at our Resort. It's really expensive to dine here! But, no choice, there weren't any food place near our Resort.



Waited for our tour bus to pick us for Leisure Tour.

Surprised when we saw our bus, thought it will be at least a minivan.



Anyway, first stop is the Sam Poh Temple. Didn't went as we weren't interested and it is raining quite heavily.

Then, we went to Rose Centre.


We were introduced to this green rose. But, it didn't look like a rose. hmm



A beautiful rose that look like a shoe! =)


A flower that look so fake, yet it is real.



Nonetheless, the roses are very beautiful.





Took some cute photos with the figurines~






Next, we went to Honey Bee centre thinking we'll get to see some bees and extraction of honey. Nah, disappointed.

Then, next to it was the Market Square. Everywhere is strawberries-related! And, I do not like strawberries.

Then, is the exciting Butterfly Garden. It has many different insects!!

Can you spot the grasshopper?


First time seeing leaf insects so up close!


Stick insect!! I didn't dare to go inside its cage to photo it, haha



Last stop of tour is Strawberry centre.

Managed to photo the different stages of strawberry development. ^.^ I can use this for teaching too!


Beautiful strawberries~




Back to our Resort to enjoy steamboat dinner!



Had tom yum soup and chicken soup base. It was the first time that I actually liked tom yum soup base over others. Satisfying meal! =)

Chill at our rooms with Monopoly Deal~
