maxwell hill
We went to maxwell hill last weekend. Decided that i can't do too strenuous exercise as i'm still recovering. however, since this is the only weekend that i get to have the whole car to myself and i have promised baby to go to maxwell hill with her. (intended to go during the merdeka holiday but couldn't because dad's around and wanted to use the car).
We reached the foot of Maxwell Hill just before 10am... however, due to the long queue in front of us, we couldn't catch the 10am jeep ride in time. Oh well, we bought the tickets for the 11am trip and proceed to drive around Taiping Lake area. The ponds look dry and empty. Hmm... thought Taiping is the wettest place in Malaysia.
Anyway, we reached Maxwell Hill station at 11.30am. 1/2 hour of jeep ride, going through very steep 1 way street and lotsa turn. By 1/2 way, my face turned green. well, the other 2 girls in the jeep too were very much worse than me. The cost of the jeep ride is RM4 per person... (RM2 up and RM2 down, whether you want to use their jeep service downhill, you still gotta pay). We scheduled our trip back down at 2pm (in case i turn green or my neck's giving me probs). After resting for about 15 mins, we started our walk down.
The scenary is beautiful... you can see Taiping and surrounding areas, air is coolish... and on the way down, we spotted a gecko and a hornbill.
the whole downhill walk takes around 2 1/2 hours. we didn't reach the foot of the hill until around 2.15pm... still if i take the jeep ride, my face will be green and we'll only get down around 2.30pm.
couldn't get my roti bakar in taiping as the stall is closed. we had lunch at bidor at 4pm! decide to eat on behalf on jody and food was too much for both of us. shouldn't have promise to do so for her.
oh, i also had a lot of fun playing with the auto cruise function of the car.
