Cat and I have been here before during our honeymoon (way
back in August 1998). However, the next time we came here in December 2007 we
could not find the place, strange.
Anyway, for the uninitiated
if you’re coming from Brinchang town turn left at Kea Farm Market (where you can see endless stalls with vendors selling their vegetables and fresh produce,
perpetually busy with cars haphazardly parked on both sides of the road shoulders) situated
right before Equatorial hotel. Driving along this road right to the very end
will lead you to Kea Farm’s Rose Centre.
There is an entrance fee of RM5 for adults and RM2 for children below the age of 12.

| Brendan and the welcoming committee |
 |
| it's been a while |
 |
| what do you call these? |
 |
| Dad's a fish |
 |
| Son's a lion |
 |
| Mom's a goat? |
 |
| we have a picture of the dwarfs from way back in 1998 |
Anyhoo, the rose farm has grown much since 1998 and now has its
own hill. We spent the most time here, having been first immersed in the
soothing sea of flowers. This was where I went nutty with my camera, absolutely trigger happy J

| Cat is seriously contemplating retiring here J |
We then made the trek up the hill and it was simply and
literally breath-taking. The view atop the hill was breath-taking, while the
trek up the hill actually made us gasp for air. Time to hit the treadmill,
dears J
 |
| this was not here the last time |
 |
| what's that? |

 |
| sunflower (the only one I know) |
 |
| hibiscus? |
 |
| finally made it to the top J |
 |
| enthusiasm abound J |
 |
| lovely shades of purple J |
 |
| look at that view |
 |
| imitating someone? |
 |
| that view again.. |
 |
| and again |
 |
| one last shot |
 |
| before trekking back down |
 |
| the god of ...? |
 |
| time to head out for lunch |
It was disturbing that it took quite an effort for Cat and I
to reach the peak of Rose Centre. We’ve vowed to improve on our stamina
(severely lacking at the moment) and attempt Gunung Brinchang on our next visit
to Cameron Highlands!
