Great domestic trips .. Terengganu , Pahang , Selangor , Penang and Johor Bahru

It is a mid term school holiday . We have some schedule what we called a " great domestic holidays " ... travelling from east to west and north to south of peninsular Malaysia . By the way it is also due to some small gathering at my brother in law house in Penang .

Selangor 

We start the day by driving thru LPT highway heading to Penang . But due to my health condition , we stopped at the small budget hotel at Batang Kali for a good night rest .

Penang

Morning we start our journey back to Penang by following Kuala Kubu road and then proceed towards the PLUS highway . As usual the journey was very smooth and after 2 hours we already reached Penang . Before heading to my brother in law house at Bukit Mertajam , we have a chance drove through the new second bridge to Penang Island . This is one of the new "year mark" in Penang and very good for motorist since its offer second alternative link and thus reduce the traffics . After that , we put a night and enjoyed our stayed at my in law house . Thanks for your hospitality !


Cameron Highland

The next morning , we drove to Cameron Highlands for a short break ie 2D1N  at this calm and cool highland . We stayed at Capthorne Hotel which is situated at Brinchang peak and closed to many tourist attraction such as markets , strawberry farms and many others . But the negative side , the hotel quiet ageing and its a time for them to get major refurbishment especially their furniture . By the way , we really enjoyed during our stayed there especially the very first time visited , The Time Tunnel Meseum , and our favourite steam boat restaurant for our dinner , Glory Restaurant , which is situated at Tanah Rata . Other than that , we did also enjoyed sipping the hot tea and taste a nice scorne at the Boh Cameron Cafe , plus viewing the awesome view of the green tea plantation .


Johor Bahru

On the next day , we check out and drove towards Johor Bahru where we spend for 3D2N at the Orange Inn hotel off Jln Tun Razak . This is a small budget hotel but very clean and offer complimentary breakfast with a  fast free WIFI . One of our activities , we do a small shopping at the Johor Premium Outlet and for me there is nothing much to offer since according to my wife , the clothes style available over here  is not really up to date . But the most important point actually we fetched our second son since he will be on holiday for a month semester break .


Pahang

Finally it is time to say good bye to JB and going back to  our home town  ,  where we used Kota Tinggi , Mersing , Endau Rompin , Pekan route ... which took us 4 hours journey ie the shortest route to our place !!....... BYE BYE
