We are just taking the easy tracks today because our legs are a little weary from the climb up Penang Hill. Though it was an easy climb, it certainly took its toll on our legs! The first place we were heading was Robinson falls. A small track left the main road and headed into the jungle. It was a well trodden path and easy to follow. We only saw 2 people, so it was nice and peaceful. The waterfall was very picturesque but we decided it looked too cold for swimming in the small pool.
We traced our tracks back to the centre where we demolished an Indian meal of Banana leaf thali and udupam. After lunch, it was time to follow another easy trek along track 4. We walked through the central gardens and joined the path. This time we saw a lot more people, in fact we saw 4! Apparently, the Cameron Highlands gets really busy at the weekends but we have manged to avoid it. We came to another waterfall, the Parit Falls before the trail led us to a junction. It was decision time. Follow the road back to our hostel or take the start of Track 6. After we had decided to take track 6, it disappeared into a fenced camping ground and we couldn't find the next part. We decided to turn back and follow the road. We explored a couple of strawberry plantations before continuing back to Tanah Rata for food.
As the food at lunchtime was so good, we went back for dinner. This time we shared a banana leaf Indian thali and a thosai (dosa) both delicious.
