We took a short rest at the half way mark and I went camera happy. There's actually people staying up here, by the way.
Cute and colorful Boh quarters at the halfway mark.
The view!!!! OMG, I didn't want to leave!!! Don't you just want to burst out in song? "The hills are alive......with the sound of music!!!!!!!....Laaaa...lalalalala...." LOL!!!!!
Ada kambing yer... curry anyone?
The trek became more difficult and arduous once we resume from the halfway mark. Thank God for the spectacular view that has distracted us from our labored panting and wheezing. *Matilaa sooooo unfit!!!!
This was another scenery that was taken while we took another short rest.
We saw this house cum gudang (warehouse) at the 3 km mark. I thought it was so pretty, so I took a picture of it in color and another in amber (sepia) setting for an aged look.
It's secondary jungle from here onwards...
And the scenery changes drastically....so did the temperature...
Some wild flowers and mushroom along the way...
Finally... we see the end of the road... the observatory tower and the micro station.
The sign (badly defaced) Huhuhuhu...
We decided to climb the tower...
And this is the view from the top. The clouds started closing in. So, the picture was really cloudy.
It took us a total of 4 hours to go up and down. It was tiring as hell, but heck... We made it!!!! We celebrated by chomping down copious amount of strawberries bought from the pasar malam. They were really cheap. RM10 for 1.5 kilos!!! Must be in season. :-)

I am SO on the wrong side of the planet! Beautiful pictures, and it sounds like a really beautiful place too.
Mena: Hi!!! Long time no hear ;-) Thanks! It is a beautiful place. You hv to come and visit!!!
I'm kind of back, Andrea was here last week and Mom had her surgery on Monday. I have been at the hospital a bit, all day Monday, recovered from exhaustion yesterday (how do the surgeons do it?!?!) and went over there in the evening. I should have more time now. I do need to visit. I also want to see the Petronas Towers, since I am living near the Sears Tower and the walkway looks like it may be fun. Oh, oddly enough, I tried a tutorial the other day about making a photo sepia. I did it with a picture that my father took of some icebergs and it looked convincing. Look for a GIMPed photo of that building in your email. I tried both the tutorial's technique and I did one of my own, which I kind of like better, but can't really decide. Maybe you will get two... ;^)
Mena: Sorry to hear about your mom. Hope she's doing better after the surgery. Send my love to her, ok? BTW, is Andrea in IL alone or with the boys? Err, when did you move downtown Chicago?
