Our Life with Xavier: Xavier's first outstation trip

Steven wanted a relaxing outstation trip during this Raya holiday. He suggested 2 places to overnight ie. Pulau Pangkor or A Farmosa (in Malacca). Both I rejected since we need to take a 1/2 hour boat ride from the jetty to the island (Pulau Pangkor), and I don't think that I can really join the rides nor the zoo visit in A Farmosa with Xavier along. For me, both places seems dangerous for a 3 month old baby.

I suggested Sungai Congkak in Hulu Langat as I miss the waterfall and the fresh greeneries. I can imagine myself sitting on the rocks with Xavier while Steven went cool dipping and feeling the cool fresh mountain water. However, I had to forget this trip today as I am worried that the place is close due to the Hari Raya since the officers are Malays.

Finally, Steven proposed a day trip to Genting Highland. I agreed. We invited the mother in law with Steven's youngest brother Keith. We left the house around noon and head off to Genting, which is an hour away from our place. On the way, we stopped by for lunch in Old Town White Coffee. After the nice meal, we head off to Genting. The way up was winding that Xavier keeps complaining. I guess that he is not used to the terribly winding road or the pressure as we were heading up the mountain. When we reach there, there were so many cars and we went around for the car park but we couldn't find any good place to park. Hence, Steven gave up and suggested that we should go to Bukit Tinggi, which is located in Pahang.

The first stop at Bukit Tinggi is the Berjaya Hills Golf and Country Club. I couldn't see the golf area except a horse range and riding area.

Horse riding is RM 25 for 10 mins (Peak & non-peak time)

The horses there have nice shades with enclosures. There are even wood blind to shade from the sun, maybe.

After taking some photos, we head off to the Japanese Village by car. However, along the road to the Japanese Village, we need to pay for entrance. RM 10 per adult and RM 8 per child. The entrance fee is for the Japanese Village, Rabbit Farm and Colmar Tropicale.

We parked our car at the car park, then took a tram up the hill abit. Then the tram drop us at the waiting area.

Along the way to the Japanese village from the waiting area.

Here we are!

Nice huge koi!

The lovely Japanese Garden (the only one in tropical country-Malaysia..oh..)

After the green walk at the Japanese Garden (we didn't really see a Japanese Village anyway), we went up to the Colmar Tropicale, which is also called French Village.
I put Xavier in the baby pouch so that he can sleep.
