Propane Ovens And Carbon Monoxide

The tea plantations of Cameron Highlands

The day after my Kletterabstecher was back on the agenda all-day transport. The aim was Penang, Malaysia. There I had made a fellow student contact to Melissa, who took us along with her roommate Astrid in the evening reception. The two do there is currently an intern and were happy to once again see his native language or to faces and hear. The extremely comfortable place to stay, in which the two are housed should be our camp for the next two days. So we spent a wonderful time in the former British colony of Georgetown and visited an imposing temple, Chinatown, shopping malls and what not else had seen. All this was rounded on by a total of very good food, good conversation and much much Industrieeis beach at night:) Thank you both at this point!

The next day it was, however, already been back on to the Cameron Highlands. A 1500 meter high-altitude area, which is the incredible closeness eludes everywhere else in the country, and its special feature is the huge tea and strawberry plantations. A unique visual treat is to report on the surging plantations to look and absorb the rich and lush green formally always the spicy smell of tea plants in the nostrils.

Marius and I were on the first day on a challenging trek through the jungle, which is available everywhere just does not want plantations. Although exhausting, it was still a beautiful day the intoxicating with its views and the fascinating jungle enthusiasts. Fully infected by jungle fever I grabbed some point a vine and swung it a round back and forth. After confirming the supposed stability of this suspension, I raised the difficulty level and the slope a few degrees and then attacked with full vigor in the vine. I would have probably been able to think before that happens. In any case, the Liana was in the middle of the flight path after a sudden and I crashed headfirst into the jungle thicket. No question that Marius broke down with laughter and not me less.

In this sense, smiling greetings

your Mowgli and Tarzan
