A Quick Trip To Cameron Highlands
We enjoyed a 2D1N trip to Cameron Highlands last week, as you probably had known; if you read my race recap post on the inaugural BOH Highlands Run (if you haven't, I encourage you to read here hihihi).
We started our journey from KL at around 9.00am and used the Simpang Pulai route instead of Tapah to avoid the jam in Tanah Rata and headed directly to the hotel we were staying in, at Copthorne Hotel. Made it around 2.30pm. Checking-in was fast as they had my room card ready. Keypoh-keypoh at the Coffee House and made reservation for dinner then off we went to our room.
Ate a light lunch then we ditched the kiddo who was pretty content staying cooped-up in the hotel room (he wanted to enjoy the hotel, not the scenery. What la...) and walked down to the nearby KEA Market.
Look see, look see only. Didn't buy anything just yet...
Then went to the nearby EQ Strawberry farm to look see look see some more.
As we didn't really want to face the horrendous Cameron Highlands traffic jam, we just walked around. First to KEA Market then we checked out the nice scenery around Copthorne Hotel.
Syiok also, I tell you. ^^
No kiddo tagging along so can paktor lor. Hehehe
Saw a friend who also did the BOH Highlands Run ran past us in the evening around 4.00pm while we strolling around the hotel. He and his wife went out for a run and ran all the way to BOH Sg Palas Centre. Cool!
Really nice la in Cameron Highlands. Can run at 4.00pm no problem because it's not hot.
Anyways, I also couldn't resist putting on my new Samsung GearFit and calculate my steps. Actually, the trip to Cameron Highlands was the first time I wore the GearFit and calculate my steps throughout the day. Fun, you know!
Anyways, that 3,325 steps was the number of steps from our hotel room on Level 13 to KEA Market and back to the hotel lobby.
I dunno why but putting it on made me kinda more motivated to walk around and get that goal of 10,000 steps daily. Kakaka
It was too cold at around 6.00pm to walk around, what with rain pouring down so we headed back to our room, enjoy a nice hot shower and then head for dinner at 7.00pm.
Although I had a run on Sunday morning, we didn't sleep early. Enjoyed lepaking in the room until midnight and woke up at 4.30am on Sunday!

ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteI wanna emulate my idol couple Anay & Letchumi mah... ;)
so did you both chase after each other in the bushes and around the trees like Anay and Letchumi??
DeleteHahaha
DeleteWe are not as flamboyant as Bollywood actor Anay Khan la...
I love that hotel ever since before it changed name recently. The GM used to be my childhood friend in the same Bas Sekolah during primary days!! Unbelievable kan.. Anay banyak cerita dongeng la. Kakakaka
ReplyDeleteThe Indian fella kah? I only kenal that one. :P
DeleteI love this hotel too, stayed there for previous visits too. Rather be high up there instead of amongst the madness of Tanah Rata or Brinchang.
Now I see your post, I really wanna drive up there and jalan-jalan 10,000 steps! I always got stuck in their terrible jams! Can you tell us which hours and days to avoid??
ReplyDeleteI am so jeles of your GearFit la. Bila mahu pinjam?
If I can keep it, I give you pinjam! LOL
DeleteCan use pedometer but using a watch like this is more fun! Easy to see also! LOL
I dunno when to go la Anay... Only been there a few times. But I feel Simpang Pulai is better if wanna get to Copthorne direct. Whaddya think?
ya lah, so jeles of all those high-tech gadget Mak Glam was using lah..
DeleteI wish I can affor (or get) more high-tech one to play some more. Hehehe
DeletePhewitt! Dating time! This is fun!
ReplyDeleteDating is always fun. Hihihi
DeleteI love CH but hate the winding roads, make me sick.. hehehe :p
ReplyDeleteSimpang Pulai not so bad as Tapah though, right? ☺
Deletei have no doubt at all this trip to CH was a great one for Mak Glam..
ReplyDeleteshe can run, she can enjoy the cool weather, she has excellent company, she got free stay and free makan and free souvenirs and won a hamper.. what else??
oh, she also ditched the kiddo and enjoyed sweet time with her man, and also she's got a cool gadget on her hand and her wrist..
aiseh, this is too much lah.. all the nice things were happening all at once.. sure very happy huh??
Hahaha
DeleteWei... shhhhhh later got people jeles. Wakaka
Yalah... so syiok trip. Go basuh kaki only there. Lol
Hope more to come. *greedy mode*
I missed CH, used to go there often when I was in Ipoh. I love the fresh and cool air and natural environment, compared to GH which is too commercialised.
ReplyDeleteGH and CH has different appeal mah.
DeleteSome people will die of boredom if go Cameron Highlands...
If i take coach there, many hours journey
ReplyDeleteProbably 10 hours?
DeleteIf you wanna visit, might as well make a trip to Penang, then Cameron, then maybe stop in Ipoh then KL. Then, it'll be worth it.
Love your pak tor pics la....
ReplyDeleteYou & kaldip must do & show to us. ��
Deletemak oi....syok ah wearing the Samsung GearFit.
ReplyDeleteMemang syiok. Really fun & get motivated to move la, with it. Hihihi
