Another trekking day

This time to the next door Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam aka Bukit Cerakah. Haven't been here for quite some time. The last was when hubby and I organised a reunion for x-PKL students last year. Amri and Adam seemed to enjoy the trip to FRIM last month and kept asking for more. I'm just glad they did. I'd just die if they turned out to be like Auntie Chik's students who peed in their pants during night jungle trekking. They were 12 year olds and for goodness sake, just a feet away from the pavement. Hardly a jungle. God forbid, my sons were not going to be anything like that.

Back to the trip....I planned to walk all the way in but Amri and Adam saw the bus and were so excited I didn't have the heart to say no. Adam especially. Never been on a bus, none that he could remember anyway. We board down at Taman Haiwan and paid a visit to all the animals there.
The kids had a great time feeding the deer. Hubby and I thought all the animals looked starving. They didn't have leftover food on their plate like those animals at KL Bird Park & Zoo Negara.








From animal farm, we took a leisure walk to the pool as well....our reunion spot last year. Luckily Adam & Amri didn't insist to take a dip. Things looked a bit better off than last year.


R&R


Canopy walk. The kids really frightened me by running all the way to the end. Gosh! Thank God the holes in the net securing the sides of the canopy were small enough to prevent the boys from accidently fall through them. Thing is, when they ran, I had to run as well to catch them. Then the canopy would sway like crazy. Imagine a hippo running on the planks...that would be close enough picture.





The boys were too tired to walk so we waited for the bus. Amri was exaggerating anyway.





Amri learning that rice originated from paddy, not tesco






Icecream on hot sunny day

The last time I went to Bukit Cahaya Sri Alam was in the late of 1990s... berzaman dahhhhh

back then the scenery was awesome. I walked from the entrance to kem camar rimba to empangan kuning to empangan sungai baru and back using the trail only used by some trekkers..

tu zaman dulu lah...
