驾着一辆将近12年的国产车, 载着共300kg的乘客. 从Penang驾到Ipoh,又从Ipoh驾到CameronHighland... 不错勒! 虽然它好象有点辛苦 :-) ...来回哦.
第一次带Bobo, Margaret及Imelda见我的家人...嘻嘻, 有点紧张. 不知道他们沟通得来没有. 在这半小时的见面...我妈竟只用广东话交谈, 我爸用华语.Bobo & Imelda 懂广东话; Margaret听不懂广东话,只懂华语. 而我家人包括我都听不同他们的福建话. 罗家以广东话为主;余家以福建话为主. 有时我就觉得不知是可笑还是可悲...同样国家,同样种族却不同语言. 就如,有话却说不出口;说了却没有人懂.
在Ipoh逗留了一下,我们就上金马仑了. 大概一个小时多的车程...
This is Hillview Inn 'hotel'. Owner is Mr. Velu. He owned this whole building with few types of rooms. He also owned a few units (I believe 2 or 3 units) in Parkview apartment which just 3 minutes walking distance from here.
Here it is... Parkview Apartment. Just in front of Hillview Hotel. We stayed this apartment for 1 night.
Outside of this building is simple. Well, when step into this unit, it is a very nice unit but this unit is without kitchen. This unit cost us RM300 per night... From his website, such unit with kitchen is RM350 per night. Floor of living room is using wood. TV & Hi-Fi is provided. Unfortunately, no channel is available. The antenna is connected from here to next unit. This unit actually can link to next unit, just partition with a door. We made a call and requested to have a TV channel, uncle cames here and tried to help us to get the channel...failed :-( Me... satisfied his service... just call and come to fix.... but I beh syiok he gave us the unit without TV channel!!! There is nothing much can do at night time in Cameron... How we pass our night without TV show leh?
Sofa is just located in front of the main entrance.
This is the door which can link to next unit.
Room with 1 queen size bed and attached with bath room.
This is another room with 2 single beds.
This is the Master Room... spacious!
Master room's wash room... spacious as well.
View from master room's balcony... (why not tea farm hill or strawberry garden geh? :-( )
After lunch, we visit Red Big Strawberry Farm, Batu Brinchang. Free entrance fee. But we need to pay RM4 for adult/RM2 for child if visit Cactus garden.
