The meeting place for the Ching's family was my Ipoh house - a car from KL, Penang & Sitiawan. All together we had 12pax for this trip. Thanks to Judith who did the reservation 6 months ago. After lunch at the famous Nam Heong Coffee-Shop in Ipoh old town, we drove slowly up to Cameron Highlands - destination Bukit Lowick Bungalow.
Bukit Lowick was originally established in 1948 by Mr. Baldwyn Lowick. Taking up two acres of land on Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands.

Jin Wei said "Very good meal".Breakfast was toast bread, egg, noodles and coffee. Since Sze Lin has been here before, she took us for trekking in the morning round the golf-course, visiting some resorts and later joined her daddy for a round of golf. Afternoon lunch was the "nasi lemak" and dinner was team-boat. Evening was the cock-tail party drink.
It was a heavy breakfast

Day 03 (03.11.09)
Day three was the last day, so no trip to Cameron Highlands is complete without a trip to the tea plantations and the Gunung Brinchang mossy forest.
The narrow road at Sungai Palas tea plantation
Cruised along the rolling tea hills to Mount Brinchang, the highest mountain in the Cameron Highlands (2032m), enjoying the cool air and the magnificent view of the tea plantation.
Entrance to the mossy forest
The walk into the Mossy Forest will reveal some of the most of unique forest flora of this mountain like the carnivorous pitcher plant, ferns, wild orchids and other native plants.
Chicken rice for lunch
Saying good-bye to Mr. & Mrs. Wong the bungalow caretaker (on the right)I have been to Cameron Highlands many times and this was my first stay at Bukit Lowick Bungalow. This has been my best experience of staying in a bungalow with the rest of the family. The spacious 3-rooms and a living area carries the best feeling of good resting place for a good family holiday. Thanks to the caretakers, Mr and Mrs Wong who looked after us very well and cooked our meals with our incredible large appetite. Food is superb!
