Fraser's hill

We took a train from KL to the colonial hill station of Fraser's hill. This was a bit of a mistake we realised when we got there. Unfortunately Lonely Planet didn't quite tell the whole story!  Like the fact that it was a quiter hill station than Cameron seemed to equate to 'ghost town' and they also forgot to mention that the pass up to the hill has separate up and down times which resulted in us being stuck for half an hour waiting for an up time!  The hotels were like swiss chalets and it rained for most of the time we were there. It was a lot cooler however and this provided some relief. Our hotel and the town reminded us very much of 'The shining!' So needless to say we stayed one night and left in a hurry the next afternoon!
We did manage a short walk around the hill and partly through the jungle and this was what we found...
A very unfriendly looking tortoise!

Who just wanted to cross the road.
