Trip to CH during the combo new years - 2005/02/14 16:28
Hi all,
Recently, I made my maiden trip to CH. Of all the days, I chose the CNY/Maal Hijrah 5-day holiday. Frankly speaking, it wasnt planned that way. Initially, I just want to stay at home during this holiday but the wife want to balik kampung and her's is quite, quite far from here (KL). So, to "pujuk" I decided to take her and our baby to somewhere nice (read: nearby). Initially, I chose Fraser's Hill but being a super peak season all the hotels/resorts/chalets/inns etc were fully booked. Darn!!
Then I saw this nice ad in the newspaper about the newly opened "inland beach resort" in PD. Priced at RM188 for two which include b/fast and dinner. I thought it was a good deal. So, I called up to book and managed to get a room. Unfortunately, when I told my wife she was against it. Ok, ok, my mistake, I should have known.It the wake of recent Tsunami disaster who could blamed her.
So, cancelled that trip.
So, we thought... since we still want to go ahead with our holiday plan where else can we go. CH came up... actually the place has came up in my book many, many times but due to a few problems -- i.e too far and have to climb a long winding roads -- I've not given it much consideration. At least not till now.
So, decided to do online search. As it is now Tuesday (Feb 8) i did not give it much hope in securing any rooms. Found this website and really, really thankful of the hotels' contact numbers that it provided. Called up almost all hotels in the list but as I mentioned earlier ... no hope.... all fully booked so couldnt secure any room.
ALmost given up hope. Till I called up the Cameronian Valley Inn. The Indon lady who answered the phone was quite accomodating. She told me that the inn does not offer any advanced booking only "first come first serve" basis.
What a luck!
Ok... still a risk but at least now we have a chance of getting a room.
So, on Thurday morning around 9am we started our journey to CH.
