Of Strawberries, Flowers and Local Viagra?
We woke up late the next day. It has been raining the whole night; we found that hibernating in our warm blankets against a chilly morning is so cozy.
After breakfast, we headed to the Kea Farm market to buy some fresh veggies. It’s quite cheap here, you could get variety of salads, carrots, cabbage, tomatoes, chilies and a lot more for RM10; and fresh too. There are also fruits like strawberries, corn and giant orange, as well as baby potatoes, flowers and tea.
DH bought me strawberry dipped chocolate. Sweet and sour.
After some shopping, we made a stop at a local gallery to have a peek. Apart from some history and images about Cameron Highland and the famous mystery of the dissapearance of Jim Thompson, the Thai Silk King, the place is full of junks! It is really accurate to say that “one man’s junk is another man’s treasure!”. Anyway it is really funny though, to see some familiar items that bring memory of the yester years as if walking into a Time Tunnel.

Next, is my favourite activity in Cameron. Visiting nurseries!
mini cactus
more mini cactuses of shapes and sizes
Bell-like flowers
My favourite of all, sweet little purplish flowers. So cute.
Colorful Daisies
Ripe and deliciously looking tomatoes! Acha is tempted…
Sweet, cute little cherry-like-plant.
We loiter around, snapping pictures and enjoy the beauty in those petals until it’s time to say goodbye. En route to Tapah via the same winding road, we stopped by one of the local aborigine stall, the real CH jungle dwellers. Their settlements and stalls selling jungle produce could be spotted along the way from Ringlet to Kuala Woh.
DH is inspecting Tongkat Ali, a local viagra, fresh from the jungle.
Blowpipes made of bamboo, the traditional aborigine hunting weapon.
Pure, thick honey, also fresh from the jungle. The white honey is very rare, and also very pure. I just learned that the white honey is actually the bee’s milk, or well known as the Royal Jelly.
The Cameron Highland aborigines settlements, usually constructed at the brim of the mountain slopes. Very brave people, they must be.
This guy totally ignored us; so occupied with the fleas. Heart broken, we pay his master the price of the local viagra and make a move back to KL.
The End.
