After the cancellation of the 1st plan to Fraser's Hill back in Dec, we finally succeeded in making the 2nd plan possible. We stayed in Silverpark. Comfortable but spooky since it's quite desserted. Only few cars can be seen at each block of the apartment which i think, comprises of not more than two families. Happened to be that Petronas owned 3 apt units at Silverpark, so big bro rent it for the weekend. If not, i may have to rent a unit at TM Sri Intan.
The Silverpark
We wound our way up the mountain along narrow roads with steep drops. There was much screeching of brakes and lurching forward but we survived. We reached the gap at 1 pm. Our timing was efficient. The gap is open for 40 minutes every odd hour for us to drive up and close at every even hour for people to go down the hill. We were immediately struck by how cool it was in the highlands especially when the wind blows. Spending two days up in the hill was really breathtaking but not to forget eerie as well. I sometimes feel uncomfortable and uneasy which caused "insomnia"....hahaha...
The scenery shots
We went sightseeing on Sat evening to see the colonial-styled bungalows available in town. They are so like the brits'. Went to the waterfall, but it was such a neverending track of walking to get to see the water falling (hehe)... Since we are "not so fit" ppl except abah, so we decided to stop halfway. Leaving mak, kakdiana n dazril alone in the car in this sechulded forest was one of the reasons why we opted to stop halfway through the track.
Continue the venture around the hill to the main attraction of this chilled windy mountain, which is the clock.
Evening walk
Had our dinner at the one of the stalls near the smokehouse. It was cheap, tasty and variety of food available for serving. We had mee bandung, yong tau foo, hotplate chicken rice, fried kueytiau, waffle.
Glen bungalow - Ye Olde Smokehouse - Jeriau Waterfall
We had our breakfast at the same stall the next day. The nasi lemak ayam goreng was tasty and the chilli paste was really fantastic. Never thot that we could find such fine food up there with such price.
Before driving down the hill, we stopped at Ye Olde Smokehouse to have our tea. They serve very fine scone and it's far better than the coffee bean. We sat in the garden on white metal furniture eating, would you believe, scones with homemade strawberry conserve and cream anf butter and a pot of tea!! (but i had hot choc, only big bro who had tea)
Safely reached home at 7:50PM...end of story :)
