D'Lagoon, Pulau Perhentian Kecil, Malaysia, May 17, 2010.
before throwing in the crystal clear waters of Malaysia decide to visit the green hills of tea plantations of Cameron Highlands. After the hellish heat and humidity of Kuala Lumpur, a bit of fresh walk in the jungle and could not help that well. We stayed there four days and the time spent there is really flying. The town of Tamahere
Rata, abbergavamo where there was a very little village where you can catch all the trekking to the green hills of the area, paths and vegetation of a green that I have never seen in my life, waterfalls and plantations you green as the emerald. Our hostel is called Daniel's Lodge and is the place where all the backpackers as we are staying in Tamahere Rata, is the cheapest place more friendly to the environment of the area. We know Canadians, French, German, Australian, Korean, Swedish, Italian, Argentinian, kids come from all over the world, with backpacker and a great desire in life. Among the many know Mark, a nice guy in Rome, that accompanies us on all trips we do in the days ahead.
The excursion was the most beautiful made on the first day, 2 hours through impenetrable jungle, inside a mountain that rises up to 2300 meters. The day before it rained so the ground was very often mixed with mud, dead leaves and dead branches. I have never experienced nature as in Cameron Highlands, the scenery is incredible, magical, reached the top of the mountain seemed to be in the movie Lord of the Rings.
After climbing the mountain and reached the top, the view was beautiful in the eyes, seemed to be in the sky, below us only clouds surrounding the mountain, an enchanting landscape. From there we venture and we the path that would take us to the plantations you, but first we get lost for fields of various faiths, even though we probably stretched the road, it was nice to see the farmers working in their fields of cauliflower or tomatoes or strawberries. After walking for a couple of hours you are the plantations. It is a truly amazing, I had never seen before the plants you are greenish leaves of plants that cover an entire hillside, plants are divided on how this natural groups to give the hill a particular form, such as green spots above disegnateci .
The trip will last 6-7 hours, we arrive at the hotel asking passersby to hitchhike back to indientro because it takes a couple of hours as a minimum.
People in Malaysia is very hospitable and friendly, have a sudden friendship with the tourists who never becomes intrusive as it can happen with the Indians.
I do other days trekking, but none more than the first, the difficulty is that for landscapes. Do you think in our guide, advise, take the first trekking with a local guide and instead we have done in less time and indicated no problems, the only problem was the mud that covered the whole body, but with a good hot shower everything is resolved. After
Cameron Highlands which is located west of the peninsula malasiana, we head east toward the white sandy beaches with coral reef islands Perhentian. The landscape in the journey is really interesting, the green is king on the road. The mountains and hills are completely covered with tropical vegetation. The landscape becomes monotonous and almost 7 hours of travel by van to the port you are long enough.
A motor boat with a powerful motor leads from the port of Kuala besure the Perhentian Islands. We stop in the smaller, Kecil, which is a little more for tourists and backpackers poor like us. Long Beach is where you find the cheapest guest houses, schools of Submarine and snorkeling, bars and restaurants. The other, Basar, the greater, and where all the most luxurious resorts and where newlyweds on their honeymoon they go to spend a week with the king, but that will cost at least € 1500-2000, 10 times less than what we spend.
We decide to stay at D'Lagoon which is located in a secluded bay after Long Beach, which is the only guest house on the bay. Here there are fewer tourists in Long Beach and the environment is more comfortable and relaxed. Upon arrival, after leaving the rucksacks the first thing we do is throw in the hot, very hot indeed, the waters of the sea. Unfortunately it's too late to see the bottom of the sea, the sun is gone however leaves behind a trace of light rose into the sky covered with clouds.
While we ate, the owner of the guest house at 10 tells us that we could go across the island, in the virgin beach that behind us and that is only 10 minutes walking behind the guest house, to see the sea turtles that lay their eggs in the sand. So we, at 10, along with another group of people, we go there, we sit quietly on the sand and wait, while we wait we raise our eyes and contemplate a sky full of stars that only you can see in places like these, far the light of the city.
Today we woke up that time is not forgiving, the sea is rough and the sky is covered with clouds and you can not see the sun. Jordi Day will be good because you teach me to play chess, something we have outstanding since the beginning of our journey.
