Cameron Highland - Second Day Afternoon

After the scary drive down from BOH plantation, we stopped by Butterfly Farm. Most of the farms are free admission. But Butterfly Farm is not. The entrance fee for adult is RM5. The farm is quite small compared to the one in KL and there are not much to see. If you ask me its not worth paying 5 bucks to go in. But I did manage to snap a few pics.

Then we head on to Cactus Valley. I have not seen so many cactus in my life. All sorts of cactus. Big, small and funky looking ones. While I was taking picture, I was trying hard not to knock into some of the cactus. I know how painful it would be when you accidentally touched one.

After Cactus Valley, we stopped by Big Red Strawberry Farm. This place is huge compared to the one I went on my first day. What's good about this is you can pluck your own strawberry. Of course it is not free. For 25 gram it costs RM6 and 1 kg is RM12. We choose the 25 gram. It is fun plucking your own strawberry. We went around the farm and managed to pluck big red strawberries. It feels like we were in Amazing Race hunting for big red strawberries as fast as we can. Unfortunately, the strawberries that we plucked are not sweet. The ones that I bought for my family is sweeter.

Outside the Strawberry Farm, they sell cactus as well. The weird thing is that I have been thinking about getting some cactus when I was at the Cactus Farm. But didn't get it there. I actually bought 8 small cactus together with 2 stands in Strawberry Farm. Haha..

After all the scary driving up and down the hill and plucking strawberries. We went to our hotel. Remember in my previous post I mentioned that I booked a hotel room in 2 different hotels? On the second day we stayed at Casa Dela Rosa. The room that we had is small but I like the look of the hotel. Very cottage like. Not to mention that their breakfast is actually quite good compared to Century Pines.

I really enjoyed my stay in Cameron Highland. If you love strawberries and vegetables its a good place to go. I ate so much salad there. The vegetables are so fresh! And I love the weather. The only time that I sweat was plucking strawberries. Other than that, the weather is nice and breezy. I wouldn't mind going there again. My hubby agrees with me on that as well.
