Refreshing Cameron Highlands and some pictures

I promised you some pictures, so let's start with that.

Petronas twin towers, Kuala Lumpur

Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur

Many monkeys on the stairs up to Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur. Be careful, they might steal your bag or your food / ice cream ;)

Dutch square, Melaka

Can you read it? Grave in Melaka

Sunset in Langkawi

There's a lot of street art in Georgetown, Penang

Also Penang has some nice beaches. Batu Ferrenghi, Penang

Together with my Chinese friend Jen,  who I met in Penang, I went to the Cameron Highlands as I already mentioned in the previous post. Next day, we were joining a tour organized by the hostel with some Canadians, an American and a British.

Indian food is the best! Lunch with Jen in Penang

We were picked up in the morning with a minivan, by our amazing tour guide. He was such a nice guy! First thing in the morning (and I woke up late so hadn't eaten any breakfast) was a hike through the jungle to see a Rafflesia flower. This is the biggest flower in the world, and blossoms for approximately one week. To reach the flower we had to cross muddy rivers, climb under and over trees and try not to fall down on slippery paths, but we made it!

After the jungle trekking we were dropped off at a Chinese restaurant for a well deserved lunch (we were all so hungry!). We also ordered 'strawberry white coffee', so good!

Our next stop was at the tea plantation, tea factory and tea house, after that a visit to the butterfly and reptile farm and after that we even had time to go to a strawberry farm before returning to the hostel. A full day of new experiences :D

Now I'm back at KL for just this afternoon. Actually I decided to change my plans and go to Indonesia, because during my travels I heard so many nice stories about Indonesia! First I thought I would need much more time for Indonesia since it is so big, and I would like to visit it once on a seperate trip, but since you never know when your next opportunity will be to travel for a longer time, I decided just to go there now. My flight to Jakarta leaves tomorrow at 7:50 so I have to be at the airport very early. Because of this, because I ran out of cash money and don't want to go to the ATM again and because I'd like to try it once, I'll go to the airport tonight and just sleep there. Curious how this will be.
