Bringing the kids to Cameron Highland

Continued from Bringing some friends to the Brunei mosque - My 7th visit here?. This should be the last article on the same subject, that is places visited within the framework of organising an event called HIKMAH IV in Kandis, Bachok, Kelantan.




After the Brunei mosque we rushed to Jeli to get to Dabong then Gua Musang. From there we climbed up the mountain road on to Cameron Highlands and spent the night at Tanah Rata. The following day, Monday 18th March 2013 we started going downhill towards Tapah. That's when we stopped by the Highland's famous roadside tea plantation.

On to the lower station...




The last time I brought the wife here September 2009 she was 8-months pregnant with our boy Muhammad Al-Aminul Rasyid. It was the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan then, so we could not partake of any delight. 



Last September I made a solo big bike trip from Pahang to Perak and made a stop here, also in the fasting month. By then Rasyid already have a 7-month old baby brother by the name of  Muhammad Alauddin Johan. Inside my heart I made a wish. Next time I would bring the wife and kids...


Now Rasyid is 3 and half years old and Johan a year and a month.  At the end of 2010 we brought Rasyid pass the northern tip of Cameron Highlands on the way from Ipoh to Gua Musang but didn't enter the officially known area of the Highlands.


Thus this is the first time  we brought the kids to Cameron Highlands. And it was not during fasting month so we can sample some goodies...


Baby Johan enjoying a rather expensive dark chocolate bar he chose himself. Wonder where he got the taste...


Time to look at the views...
