We bought food from the convenient shops the night before and intended to cook bfast. The kids promised to help.
In the morning, Zaky sprung up from bed when reminded. Lil Shauna whined that she had a headache. Lol.
I taught Zaky how to crack and fry eggs. After a couple of practice, he did great.
We had eggs, hotdogs, bread and instant noodles for bfast - a great start to our morning. Zaky also helped cook the instant noodles.
While Zaky was working hard for our bfast, Daddy Lim took this nice pic from the airbnb balcony.
Then, we started a hour's drive to the Chiling Waterfall. We read that it is an easy trail to the waterfall with 6 river crossings along the way. So exciting. The ride to the waterfall was scenic and therefore an enjoyable ride.
After almost 45 mins, we decided to stop by for a picture.
We were really lucky to make the stop bcos we met 2 Malaysians who also stopped to take in the views. They told us that the Chiling Waterfall is closed for some fish breeding program until March! They just turned back seeing the closure signage. Right before they left, they suggested another mini waterfall at Fraser Hill, which is 15 mins' drive further from the Chiling Waterfall.
It was way too wasted to turn back after 45 mins' drive. We pressed on. Along the way, we passed by cyclists cycling up Fraser Hill. Come, we clap for you all.
The mini waterfall though mini, cannot be missed. There is also open space for parking opposite the the mini waterfall.
There is a small puddle on the top deck along with plenty of mud and dead leaves - not very appealing. The water tickled down and forms a nice little stream for the kids to waddle in. The top tier opening filtered off the dead leaves and dirt, leaving nice clean water into the stream. The wet shoes that we bought for the river crossing still comes in useful.
The water was so coooolllddddd.. Daddy Lim and I chose to supervise and exercise some eye power. The water level was afterall only ankle high.
There were several warning signages of possible water contamination of bacterial and viruses as it was fresh lake water. That got mummy very paranoid, reminding and nagging the kids not to go near the actual waterfall or get water on their face/ eyes/ nose/ ear.
Though it was a mini waterfall and mini stream, the kids had fun waddling around and climbing up and down the stream, creating their own adventure.
The kids spent almost an hour and I had a chat with one of the cyclists attempting the Fraser Hill. She mentioned that there are several rivers/ streams in that area and we could enjoy them so long as we find accesses to them. It sounded way too adventurous for us; the mini waterfall was good enough for now.
The kids were happy to turn back after the hour's of fun. They found some treasures.
Bcos the intention was to spend half a day hiking to the waterfall, we brought minimal money and now had to turn back to the airbnb for money. With the thought of water contamination, I was very keen to get the kids back and to shower asap too. Fortunately, we had sufficient money to do kfc lunch before heading back.
