We
enjoyed our stay at the Cameron Highlands, the cooler climate and laid back atmosphere.
On leaving we took the coach to KL – about a three hour journey.
The large drop off coach station is adjacent to a huge transit centre and you can get the airport train from here. As our hotel is part of the airport complex it was the easiest way to get there. On arrival a sign points to the Sama Sama Hotel and there were several golf buggies waiting to pick up guests,
so luggage loaded along with ourselves we arrived in style – by
golf buggy!
We
checked in and were pleasantly surprised when they upgraded us to the
Premier Floor. The large lounge area on this floor has a two hour open bar
and an array of food and overlooks the airport and control tower – all at no cost. We enjoyed the couple of
hours here and did not need dinner.
Breakfast
the next day had a huge choice from omelettes, cereals, fruits,
pancakes to the usual array of rice dishes and curries etc. We just
opted for the norm. There was a lovely swimming pool here with lots
of palms and foliage around where I enjoyed a swim before packing our
last bits and pieces of luggage. We checked out, got the buggy to
the airport and waited for our flight to Singapore, just a 45 minute
trip with a slight delay because of a huge storm. We then had a five
hour wait in Singapore before flight to Brisbane, we booked into
Qantas Club and then I went shopping for an hour or so. I had some
ringgit to dispose of. Just 7 hours or so after boarding we were
touching down in Brisbane to another huge storm and a big hold up on
the highway, there had been a bad accident. Thanks to Marilyn for
picking us up in the rain. Although we enjoyed quite a lot of this
holiday, we were very pleased to be back home again.
