Chinese New Year Vacation 2011

During Chinese New Year vacation I brought my family for a break away up to the hilly terrains of Bukit Larut - Maxwell Hill....... This time around, we even needed the service of a tow-cart to carry all our belongings. YES, you have to pay extra for it........

Yippy! Newly surface road - made the trip that much more comfortable.........

My eldest and I enjoying the jeep ride. BUT the same can't be said for the rest of the family....... The narrow and winding road trip up the steep hill, especially the extremely tight 'U'-turns can be too much for some people..........

This is our bunker for two night on the hill........ Though not new but it sure is well kept and clean...........

It even has a fire place to enhance that rustic feel.......

Spacious Dining area.........

What enormous bedrooms it has - all 4 rooms of them.....

Mom and my youngest...........

Free and easy time - exploring the surroundings...........

Steamboat for the night, looks like it is going to be a sumptious meal...........

Hey, where's everybody gone to? Might as well dig in first...........

The crown dish of the night - broth cooked with all left overs chuck in the Japanese style........ DELICIOUS!! Night hunting begins, hope the beetles will be attracted to the lighted canvas tonight.......

Nope! Not much luck, just a few 'Zebra' bettles were caught...........

Teaching my little ones to appreciate the wonders of nature from young.......... and my eldest likes it thoroughly........

Some fauna chanced upon.........

More faunas.............

My eldest pretending to be a beetle........ Floras found on the hill here..............

Wonderful battery charging trip for the whole family indeed.........
