The Climb (nope, not even remotely related to Miley Cyrus or that song)

After we settled down in our new room. We immediately jumped into the lake and had a quick dip. Takut la nak berenang jauh2, since it's a lake. Mane ade landai mcm pantai.. there's a few rocks stacked up along the bank of the island but beyond the rocks, it's REALLY deep. I have bathophobia. :( We ended up masukkan badan, pegang kuat2 kat tangga, berenang 5 meter than naik darat. (pathetic..)


By noon, we were thinking we better take a look around the island instead of being cooped up in our room. Ari, he's a staff of the cottage, offered to take us to the waterfall. We were over-zealous, wanting to walk to the edge of the hills where the waterfall is situated. God's grace, right before we depart from the cottage, it drizzled. We ended up taking 2 motorcycles - Ari and Rio were our drivers (ape nak pggl org yg bwk motor eh? rider?) and rupa2nya tmpt tu jauh gila! Poyo je deorg kate boleh jalan ke sana. Mmg boleh, tp kene gerak subuh hening, pastu smpi sana tgh hr buta.


We needed to hike a mountain (ok, over. It's a small mountain. FINE. Hill.) to get to the waterfall. Why we chose to do this strenuous activity? Sila tanya Kikin. Bosan katanya. hahaha! Though it was raining, we stucked to our plan. I was a bit worried though, but kept it to myself. When asked how long does it take to get to the waterfall, they said about 20 to 45 minutes.


With Ari, our hiking guide.



Memang tak DUA jam aku mendaki gunung!!! Bohong betol..




Biase je waterfall ni.. tp sbb nak cari smthg to do, ok la.
The COLD water washed away our fatigue.



The view from the hill. This is only half-way to the waterfall. Yes, we hiked this high. Seb baik x pengsan. haha.




Small town of Tomok. This pic was taken while I was on the bike.


After our refreshing swim at the waterfall, we were feeling uber healthy. haha. Alang2 da ade 2 driver, we asked them to take us to Tomok for a short souvenir shopping since da nak maghrib. Sempat la beli t-shirt untuk diri sendiri.


Sekian, until next post.
