We hadn't planned to go to the Cameron Highlands. To be honest we hadn't planned much at all. Our Malaysian plan was made the night before leaving Singapore while pouring over a map and enjoying beer at Hooters. This is the nature of our journey. The drive up to the Cameron Highlands was a great drive and gave the Alfa an opportunity to really shine. Endless hairpins and switchbacks but sadly the odd on-coming driver whose impatience exceeds his abilities. Nevertheless, alpine driving is always a highlight.
The highlands are famous mostly for growing tea. It was our first tea plantation and we learnt a lot the subject on an excellent tour. Tea plantations really do make for wonderful landscape shots.
