"Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood"

"Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves." --Marcelene Cox

3D/2N Cameron Highlands Getaway

Strictly speaking, one night was spent on the coach. So it’s not as long a holiday as it sounded.

Our stay was at an apartment, complete with a kitchen, a living room, two toilets, a bathtub, complete with a Victorian style outer building appearance.

It was a little rush, and we wished we could take it slower; the café in the tea plantation, overlooking the hills of tea shrubs was worth another good hour. But instead, we were given only 45 minutes to savour it all.

Cameron Highlands Getaway: Sungei Palas Tea Plantation

Photographs do it no justice at all; one would need to be present there physically to take it all in, the rolling hills of tea plantations, wow, and such a contrast from the concrete jungle Singapore.

Cameron Highlands: Our Apartment

In the hotel near to our apartment, we saw a real fire-place, burning with logs from rubber trees. And the kids got all excited. It’s our 1st time too, a real fire-place. How would Santa come then? Would he get burn?

Cameron Highlands: Strawberry Farms

A must isn’t? The kids dashed for this before our coach leave the next morning.
