Our day began with a breakfast of both sweet and savoury rolls before packing into our 'bus' (12 seater van) and car for the trip to the Cameron Highlands. It was such a beautiful trip into the mountains. Ps Calvin said we were taking the longer route because it was less windy, but we think it's because that's the way he could make a 5km detour to buy banana and sweet potato fritters!It was cold, wet and foggy when we arrived at our accommodation - the Lutheran Mission Bungalow. We all had a quick light lunch (at 3pm) in the town before relaxing at the Bungalow, playing tennis, taking photos and chatting until it was 6.30pm and time for dinner.
The Bungalow is a retreat for Pastors and missionaries when they need a break and time to recuperate, so it was beautiful and isolated. Dinner, made by Auntie, was mushroom soup, pork schnitzels, potato, cauliflower, salad, and apple pie with icecream - dishes learned from previous guests. It was all amazing and delicious!
After dinner we all went back into town and most of us had massages. Jesse had an ear candling, which afterwards went a little wrong, and he suffered side effects for a couple of days.But I had a foot massage and an upper body massage, for 75 minutes (all for just RM70!) and it was very relaxing. Feeling calm and happy we went back to the Bungalow and set our alarms for 5am to be ready for our sunrise tour pickup at 5.30am. It was a cold night, and I did not sleep well.
