Ieuan and Jay are in their element. Landrovers everywhere!!! Apparently the Cameron Highlands have the greatest concentration of Landrovers outside a British garrison. History - The Cameron highlands where first surveyed by a Brit named Willliam Cameron, hence the name in 1885. There is a English influence here which can be seen in the older buildings. Many mimic the Tudor period and also the Victorian era when the British developed the area as a place for growing Tea. Much of the area is suffering abuse by the locals, mass agricultural development without a good infrastructure has meant many landslips. We took a long walk today, much to Erins displeasure which took us up the valley through jungle. We visited a Bee farm and Jay got stung! We hope to go for afternoon tea at a local hotal for tea and scones. The weight that we lost in China is gradually piling on with all the banana fritters we're consuming. We ahve also been to a strawberry farm and had delightful strawberry.
Erin is writing a poem about the jungle and wants to write a sentence
Hi class, I have been on a jungle walk today.
I'll try and get her to write more later as shes keen on exercising her creativity with words and drawings. maybe i'll post the finished product for you all to be AMAZED at the talent!!!!
