I just love going for holidays. The feeling of being somewhere that really does not need to rush for time is even better! Place of recommendation if you just feel like doing nothing but at the same time just want to chill out and have no one disturbing you at all? Bukit Tinggi. Some people told me that I need not stay over a night. In fact, give it 3 hours and you’ve visited the whole place already. But me being me, I prefer not to rush the time and spent a night there with ah fei.
Day 1
Woke up super early on the Friday morning to have a very relaxing breakfast at Sri Petaling. Then we straight drove off to the highway heading for destination Bukit Tinggi. Kind of nervous the night before because 1st time driving long distance. Hm, but if you want to know how come the guy don’t drive, the perhaps you should click here. To add to the nervousness, I got some feedback from friends that spent some time there that the roads were pretty sloppy lo. Even more sloppier than Genting wor. So when we drove up there, we were practically crawling. Actually, its because I’m only driving a Kenari, so what you expect ha?!
The view up hill was superb and lots of amazing plants and green scenery. Oh! Did I mentioned before I love the nature? But never ask me go camping. I love the nature from a distance and the view from car is a safe distance.
Finally we reached our destination. Colmar Tropicale. The French themed resort that was very beautiful in the pictures!
Eh? How come this castle looks so uncivilased?
Ah! This is only the right one! Believe it or not, we actually went into the unfinished castle and wondered why is it not finished yet!
There we stayed at room 2103 at block Brunfelsia or something like that. I guess it must be some kind of flower name in French.
Kena tipu. The pictures in this site don’t look anything NEAR this picture I took. Sheesh. Don’t ever trust any online photos. Somemore room rates don’t come cheap. A whopping RM200 but it includes 2 breakfast, 2 entries to the Japanese Tea park, Botanical Garden (which I also admired from a safe distance away) and rabbit park.
But the view of the street is very nice la..
After settling down, went to the Japanese Tea Garden. It was really wonderful because of the cold weather. It was going to rain and there wasn’t a single person around except for its staff so its like owning the place to your self. Of course, A fei’s favourite place would be the Japanese Tea Garden la. Why? Because he just love the fishes! Took a whole load of them and I have such difficulty choosing the best fish picture
A school of fish. They are enormous and as soon as they see humans, they literally come flying to you so you can feed them some food.
a fei posing because forced by me. Haha!
Also saw a blue bird & a squirrel as well.
During dinner, we had buffet. The choice of serving there was lousy. But the service there was outstandingly great. A Fei’s favourite would be pasta. They actually have a chef to cook the kind of pasta of your choice. We tried all the kinds of pasta i.e fettuccini, spaghetti & shells and even had tried all sorts of flavours i.e tomato sauce, bolognaise & cream sauce
that’s a fei eating yum yum!
