Last day in the Hills..
A long breakfast, maybe a few shorts hikes close to town and catch up with some blogging. It's the last full day here in the highlands so any kind of strenuous effort today is out of the question, especially after yesterday's gruelling mountain hike!
It's been a good few days in the highlands, cool and fragrant air especially in the forests and around by the tea fields, although the aromas emanating from the town leave a lot to be desired! Exotic birds are few up here, but there is an abundance of flora and an amazing variety of colourful spiders, grasshoppers and a host of bugs. Tourists are not fleeced up here, not that I heard about anyway. Prices are of course higher as in any tourist hotspot, but still pretty reasonable really, for food I mean. The tours however are grossly overpriced considering that some of them are pretty localised affairs, with attractions just down the road, easily accessible by local bus. with a bit of effort and an enthusiasm for hiking, much can be seen under ones own steam, and of course more time to notice those little things that make a trip all the more worthwhile.
On the move again tomorrow, this time to Melaka. I got the ticket day before yesterday, 30 RM, about £6.50 and it's a direct bus at 8am for a 4 hour Journey.
