George Town

We now landed in George Town, a buzzling city on the west coast of Malaysia. As everywhere construction is going on everywhere and there is a shiny new huge mall right in the center of the city. Luckily they have left some old historical buildings from the past and together with the compact center it makes a perfect place for scrolling along on a sunny day.

Happy New Year!

Landrover paradise (or graveyard...?)

It seems that all the remaining last century LandRover Defenders of this globe are gathering in the Cameron Highlands - I have never seen such a collection. Some are just left next to the road, others seem not to be able to drive - but they do!

High Tea in very sense

Here in the Cameron Highlands things are cooler - so cool that it is possible to grow vegetables, fruits (strawberries!) and even tea. It was the first time we saw tea plantations on this scale and combined with a little foggy weather the effect of the rolling slopes with lush green tea leaves was magical. the tea itself is quite OK - so we noticed at the high tea in our hotel. We bought a tin to bring back home.

Batu Caves

These caves are one of the most popular Hindu shrines in the world - normally it is packed with worshipers - the day we visited it was so hot we decided not to climb the stairs and continue our journey to the highlands where we hope to find cooler weather.
