cameron highlands

we're in the cameron highlands at the moment which are so beautiful. they're right up in the mountains and al you can see are misty clouds and hills covered in tea plantations. We're staying at daniels lodge which is a proper backpackery place and the owner is really nice. and it's so good not having sand all over my feet! this morning i went to a malay food stall and hadthe best meal i've eaten out here. it was just fried vegetables and rice and a curry sauce but it was so delicious. wish we had food stalls like that at home. we went on the countryside tour' in the afternoon and it was probably the best day we've had out here. went to lots of different little places like a tea plantation( and bought looooads of tea for everyone!), a rose garden with hundereds of flowers, a butterfy farm with bluddy huge butterflies and horribly big beatles and insects (which the tour guide made us hold!!) and some other litte places. soph and i had a cup of really fresh fried sweetcorn which was amazing. we got back quite late and went to an indian restaurant for tea but my meal wasn't great and a woman next to us had chicken tikka and it looked sooo good i was pretty jealous. soph isn't happy with the food out here at all. she says she just wants to make her own food and doesn't like that most people out here eat out. ah wel im loving it :)
we're heading off tomorrow in a minivan to the perhentian isands (its costing us bluddy 26 quid!) and apparently internet is super expensive there so we probably won't be in contact for a few days. but apparenty it's ace and pretty there so im sure it will be worth it.
hope everyone is doing ok xxxx
