2007 Summer Vacation August 10 & 11 -- Genting Highland.

On August 10, the National Day of Singapore, we decided to make a trip to Genting Highland. We left Johor early morning and drove for a couple hours to KL. In KL we stayed one night at hotel at the downtown. We didn't take any picture from there, because my camera's battery was dead.

We left KL early morning and drove another hour to Genting Highland. Genting Highland is one of the famous resorts in Malaysia. It a magnificent city on the hilltop, which is 2000 meters above sea level. Genting Highland was founded by Tan Srim Lim Goh Tong in late 1960s.

Genting Highlands enjoys a cool climate, with temperatures no higher than 25°C and rarely falling below 14°C yearly. Because of the weather, most of the Malaysian love to spend their holiday at Genting Higland.

Because the resort is located on the hilltop. We had to drive through a steep road to the hilltop, the higher you are the road become more steep. Luckily, we all arrived safety.

Hooi sin took those pictures while I was driving. As you can see, the road become more steep when you are close to the hilltop.

We stayed at the First World Hotel, which is the cheapest hotel in Genting Highland. Due to the peak season of the day, we supposed to pay more that regular room rate. However, we were so lucky, because we met one couple which had made the reservation for the room but due to the urgent matter, they had to cancel the trip and headed back to Singapore. So end up we paid the regular room rate in peak season. :>

We took these pictures at First World indoor Theme Park.

We stopped by at McDonald and had our lunch. Due to the limited resources at hilltop, everything there charges more than regular price. So, we paid more for our McDonald. Pictures from McDonald at First World Hotel
