Over Raya holidays, we booked ourselves for a short getaway in Camerons. We got there alright despite the traffic jam along the North South H'way. But we weren't alone in the hills. Others too LOVE the cool and the offerings of Camerons. It was like never-ending shopping for the hordes of tourists - at the veggie and strawberry farms .We didn't have time for the flowers. Guess the beautiful award-winning garden at The SmokeHouse Hotel more than made up.
Not only did we have our share of yummy strawberry jam, scones, we loaded our car with more strawberries, veggies a plenty and a beautiful bromeliad, all fighting for space in the car boot and amongst us in the seats.

| Just a wee sample of more strawberry products. Eat, play, love - it's raining strawberries in Camerons!! |
 |
| Have to say this is a teaser strawberry! There's really tons of strawberries to eat up in Camerons. All the year round too. No more mounds of earth to grow in. Hydroponics is the way. |

| If space in your car is not an issue, there's an awful lot to cart home. |

ReplyDeleteLooked like you have a wonderful time there. The furthest I went recently was Ipoh, did not manage to go Cameron Highlands. Hope I can go there one day, been decades since I visited Cameron Highlands.
ReplyDeleteHave not been to Cameron for more than 10 years, i remember it was very cold on even before we reach the hill top, how do you feel the temperature now?

ReplyDeleteI love that butterfly. It's so large and colourful. The snakes! Wow! I've never seen a stripy bunch before. Lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the snakes and bullfrogs, Keats! Not to eat, of course. I just like to admire my reptile friends. Those are Oriental Whip Snakes (with one Paradise Tree Snake).
