Finally temperatures well below 30 degrees Celcius! We just arrived here at Tanah Rata in Cameron highlands and it seems to be surprisingly popular among tourists. Yesterday we walked around the old town of Ipoh and checked out Kellie's castle, an old haunted place not far outside the city.
After a mosquito-filled night we woke up at 6 am to head to the biggest limestone caves in peninsular Malaysia. Straight taxi ride would have cost 40 RM one way but we took a local bus and taxi and saved over 50 RM. The caves themselves were beautiful and the three and half hour excursion was pretty good, although the group of ours was a bit too big. During the first hour of the tour we walked along stairs and checked out the biggest 'rooms' but after that the real action started. Not too long after we found ourselves crawling in the cold and murky water to find the way out. I can't wait to do this again without a big group and guides!
Now our plan is to relax for a couple of days in this wonderful colder climate and maybe climb some of the small mountains around. Perhaps I'll finally have time to add some photos here soon.
