  • Went to golf course
  • Rental shop shut. Stranded.
  • Taxi back, got collars. Went in Galaxy Cafe and had a really bad salad and they put evaporated milk in my coffee :( Took taxi back to golf course.

  • On way back we found little england, but the food was very expensive.
  • Cheap taxi back
  • Had Steamboat for dinner, which made Ad want to vomit his insides out, but me and Rex soldiered through, though it was all a bit slimy

15th May 2008: Alcohol strikes

Travelled back to Cameron Highlands. Had a croissant in the bakery on arrival.
In the evening we drank beer in a nice bar and watched some awful Divas DVD they were showing involving Tina Turner and Cher. Adam hates Brandy and thinks Tina Turner is a bloke.

That is all.

  • Got up early. Had hotel brekkie.
  • Got in 4x4 and went to butterfly farm.
  • Held butterfly that was tired and non flappy because of no sun yet. Our guide showed us various beetles, stick insects, scorpions, frogs and moths. Went loo...
  • Drove up tea plantation road/hill to highest point in Cameron Highlands. Mist. Watchtower.
