Cameron Highlands - Malaysia

The best way to beat the heat in Malaysia is to take a trip up to the fertile Cameron Highlands, Malaysia's premier tea country. While very very small production wise in comparison to big daddy India, this place still manages to make quite a load of tea.

Here's beloved Fathers Guest House made up of old British military style barracks - bad on the outside, but fairly clean on the inside.

We went on a very wet muddy jungle hike and ran into these carnivorous pitcher plants.
