Bukit Tinggi Trip (Day 2)

We got up at 8 am in the morning. I was still sleepy because mom was snoring so loud last night I couldn't get some wink. Ugh! Should have brought ear muffs. Anyways, we had coffee and biscuits. After drinking a cup of coffee, I went back to sleep while mom and my teacher chatted. Her family left early for Ipoh already so it's just the three of us remaining. 
Once we got showered up, we went to the French Village again to have a snack. I didn't eat anything in our room so I had a tuna sandwich. Good thing it isn't big like the one last night. I had a mango juice too. Next we find a shuttle bus that took us to the Japanese garden up the hill.  No wonder they don't let the cars go up the hill. It was very steep and it was limited parking space. Only the staff can go up with their cars. 
We had to climb all the way up the the garden. It looks exactly like real Japanese garden but only dirty. In real Japan, you won't find it very dirty ;). 
Back to the post! We took some good photos of the Japanese houses. Most of the time I'm in the photos. 







There's also a place where you can rent a kimono and take photos and do a tea ceremony. But the kimono rental costs you about RM20 and the tea ceremony cost you about RM23. So we just continue exploring. And my, what a long walk. We reach back at the souvenir shop panting and rest our legs. Once we're rested, we walk down the hill and wait for the shuttle bus to take us back to the apartment for check out. This is one moment I don't like with shuttle buses. So, guys, if you ever want to go to Japanese garden, I suggest you should drive your car up and walk because if you're taking shuttle buses, you have to wait 1 hour or 45 minutes to reach your destination (both in and out). 
We checked out around 1 pm and went to pick up more pine cones. 


That's all about my trip to Bukit Tinggi. Hope you enjoy reading it.
