The lower parts of Cameron Highlands - Habu and Ringlet...

Continued from The tea plantations at Cameron Highlands...


The journey downhill towards Tapah is continued...


We soon arrived at another major settlement in Cameron Highlands...



This one is called Habu...


After a bend or two we decided to make an excursion...



For here lies another plantations...




But instead of tea we have strawberries. Hmm... wait a minute, do you call this a plantation or a farm? Now I remember, they themselves call it a strawberry farm...




Having missed the more well-known strawberry farms in the upper parts of the highland (we passed the upper parts at night remember? Look again in the article The night trip from Gua Musang to Cameron Highlands... having passed that road we don't what to repeat it as our time for travelling were running out) we were grateful for being able to get a box of freshly-picked strawberries here...






Next we head out to another major settlement, Ringlet...







We were still in the outer parts of Habu when we saw this bridge...








After a small distance passing the bridge I can't help from stopping...





For the view is so good, I must stop and take good shots with my camera...






Why, a look back and you can see this lake with a view that reminds me of the few days I spent in the mountains and countryside of Switzerland in summer 1995!

















Further on the road rises a bit to give you this view of the lake...









Then it starts to go down-hill again as one enters Ringlet...
















Just like Tanah Rata, the town is bustling with activities...













It's just Ringlet is not as picturesque being more a settlement for locals who are mainly farmers.
