The central part of Malaysia includes the area called the Cameron Highlands. The wet and cool weather (that we really enjoyed after KL!) makes it possible to grow tea and strawberries that are the speciality of this area.
Around here, you can go for long treks and see the green scenery: one particular walk we enjoyed was the one that took us to see the Rafflesia. The Rafflesia is the biggest flower in the world, 1mt wide and weighting up to 10kg, it is impressive to say the least. It lives for 7days but it has no roots or leaves as such but grows on other plants as a parasite.

After the tiring walk, we got back to the town of Tanah Rata to reward ourselves with nice cake and tea and an 1hr long foot reflexology massage.
Since the last time I came to south east Asia, I have been dreaming about these cheap massages and how good they make you feel! Already looking forward to the next one...
