Cameron Getaway! [Part 3]

3 July 2006

Sunday. 9am and the sound of morning cartoons penetrated the bedroom door. Ok, ok...get up, mill around...breakfast...guys go to get their car...couples out to walk walk...us playing Carcassonne...us cleaning apartment...all these amidst lamentations of "Are you going to take Monday em-cee ar?", "Come on la, stay one more day!" or even "Come, we go Penang! Monday only go back!"

Lunch was cursed with long waits again! While Saturday we thought the long wait could be due to our being a big group, Sunday lunch was just the 5 of us (same 5 what went trekking for 2 hours). Me, I had the Chinese option (where I'd to sendiri bawa my food from one end of the foodcourt to my table at the other end, and sendiri take back the bowls when done), but the others went for Malay fare. TST, 'Ward and Hengky had to wait (half-hour? more?) for their food. It seems that the store that they ordered from had no sauce or something, and had to ask another store to cook the food for them!

Once we were all packed up and the place nice and sparkly clean, it was time for souvenir-hunting. Here's a good place. Kea Farm.

The fried mushrooms, fried potato balls, in fact, sample everything from the stall that sells fried stuff. There was even an ice-cream machine outside it. Yum. Soft-serve strawberry ice cream.

Other must-gets include strawberries, make sure you do taste-test, honey propolis ('Welcome to Highland Apiary Farm' says their leaflet), then call home and ask if mum needs wants any greens.

After that head on to Equatorial to raid their toilets. One thing that shocked me was that Equatorial never seem to have changed throughout all these years. I don't remember the last time I went up except that it was during my primary school years (ooh the suffrance of travelling then), when Highlander started showing on RTM2.

You don't have to stay here, just park nearby and take a walk around Equatorial and enjoy the scenery.

Then, the long hard goodbye. 7pm, on our way home to KL. Could we make it back in time for a nice group dinner?

Didn't happen. Just like how we found a KFC KLG in Cameron, we'd stopped for A&W E&W at Tapah.
