Trip to Cameron Highlands is one the most exciting trip in my life. I went to Cameron Highlands 3 years ago but i still remembered our exciting journey to get there. My friends and I had been planning to go to Cameron Highlands before we graduated our programme. On the 28 August 2009, at 5 a.m, we departure from Shah Alam heading to Cameron Highlands. We decided to go by a car where we can stop and take a break at any where during the trip. My friend, Hafiz was our 'tourist guide' as he had visited to Cameron Highlands for a few times. It took about 5 hours from Shah Alam to Cameron Highlands.
We were really excited as Hafiz drove the car carefully during zigzag roads heading to the peak of the hill. As we reached at the highlands, we felt cold breeze inside the car. Although, the journey was too tiring and long, but we still overwhelming about it. It is a bit challenging because the trip was during Fasting month where we cannot drink or eat at daylight.

After 4 hours of driving, we finally arrived at Cameron Highlands. It felt totally different sensation where the air was fresh, clean, clear and cold. We quickly wore sweater on so that we don't get too cold or flu. As soon as we arrived, we choose our hotel. We decided to stay at Kavy Hotel Boutique. The rooms were good and the rent was affordable to us. After we check-in the rooms, we were heading to our first pit-stop of the day which was a souvenir shop called Ct Craft.
We shopped many unique handicrafts made by the local and aborigines tribe. I bought souvenirs such as key-chains, some crystallize bugs and a bag made from rattan. We were happy to get to the shop and saw many unique collections which we never seen before. I felt fortunate to have this opportunity to see it live in front of my eyes. We took some photos just before we leave the shop. Everyone carried a full bag of souvenirs to give away to the family and friends.

Next pit stop was at the Strawberry Farm. The most awaited moment in my life. We arrived at Strawberry Farm around 2 p.m. We don't even felt exhausted at all. We went to the strawberry area first to pluck fresh strawberries. Of course we have to pay RM25 per medium bucket. But for me, it was worth it as it could be once in my life time to pluck the strawberries from the plant. The strawberry looked so delicious and tasty. Next, we went to the cabbage and lettuce area. I saw they planted the vegetables using hydroponic technique without soil to fertilize the vegetables. I can smell the freshness of the vegetables as I went closer to the vegetables. We didn't realized that we spent 3 hours at the Strawberry Farm. Before we leave, we took photos at the strawberry area and vegetables area. After that, we went back to the hotel and get rested for a while.

In the evening, we went to have dinner together at the Indian restaurant. Then, we went to the Night Market to see what stuffs they have sell there. We stopped at several shops to buy some clothes, bags, shades and some local foods. We spent time at another restaurant to drink hot chocolate with strawberries. It was delicious and i can't resist to drink it again so i ordered it again for second time. We went to the hotel at 12 a.m. and got some rest.
