Good people find good people. So happy to see you find good mechanics along the way. Trudy deserves the best. And that Malaysia edition sticker is the bestest! Seriously, the way you travel is the way we love to travel. Meeting locals, truly getting into the local life.

[@TREADtheglobe]

Awwh thank you - this is probably why we found each other and are best friends LOL 😉😂💜 We can't wait for you to see the sticker when we all get together again and I am trying to persuade Natasha and Peter to come to the UK for the Charity Welcome home party - so big meet up !! Big love and hugs M xx

Watching your videos while in Malaysia makes me feel very fortunate to be a Malaysian living in Malaysia...tq. Btw my daughter is now studying in London and she loves UK and she has traveled to 8 European countries within the span of 18 months. According to her, salary for part timer is good and traveling cost is affordable.

[@andrewlim85]

Hey there Marianne and Chris, I love how you are showing to the rest of the world how Malaysia looks like. Truth be told, as a local, I too have yet to find some of the gems that you had found. I hope you enjoyed your adventures here in Malaysia. Marianne had nerves of steel driving Trudy into the Sungai Palas BOH Tea Plantation!

[@DominicWong]

Yes! It's a very narrow road especially with oncoming cars. Awesome you guys did it

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks !! And yes Malaysia has so many incredible places to visit - we will be back as we have some more adventures to be had for sure !! 🤗🙌

Thank you 🌺

[@ALFAGOMMA]

For me it was great to see the Cameron Highlands again but I barely recognised it. I visited there way back, firstly in 1986 and again in 1989. Back then there were only shanty towns, but it was so enjoyable with hawker stalls and very few tourists. And as you discovered, the cool climate is a welcome relief from the sweltering heat of the lowlands. To be honest, now it looks spoiled by development and tourism but this is the way of the world. Glad I visited when I had the opportunity.

[@doublerfanatic5641]

Yes at Cameron Highlands please head to the Old Smoke House for some English tea and scones.

[@julieturner5037]

It looked stunning in the mountains surrounded by the tea plantations 👍 A Tea Tour sounds like a good idea to me 🤔😉 Thank you both for the lovely video 😊

[@TREADtheglobe]

Sounds great!

[@mir7684]

I dont normally used tapah route to cameron highland .prefer simpang pulai head north further a bit.. road is much better i must say.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

I get nausea. 1000 turns

[@jonmath4182]

I drove up there once, and also used simpang pulai exit, upon recommendation by a friend who hailed from cameron highland

[@Hutch3021]

What amazing view from the rooftop bar 👌Shame the rain had to spoil it ☔️ Yay Trudy dry on the inside 👏👏 Taking the old road was def the better idea so much more to see 🤩 It’s no wonder the Cameron Highlands are so busy with people escaping the heat 🥵 As always the food looked so tasty 😋 Tea plantations always seem to be the most beautiful places , the ones we visited in Sri Lanka were exactly the same ! Malaysia is a place that while watching I have a constant smile 😊 🫶

[@TREADtheglobe]

Agreed - we love Malaysia and will be back !! Love to you both xx

Dear Marian i suffer with u about spicy food, but yes it can be Nice to without spices! Lovely places you vissit! ❤️🚗😁

[@alanscott8063]

Loving the Malaysia videos. Reminds me of my time working in Singapore and KL. The food is amazing, Laksa, chicken rice, rendang and fish head curry. I am drooling thinking about it. I used to drink Liptons tea with two bags until I discovered BOH tea, it's good.

[@Ajcatlady2023]

Hello from London UK, I found your channel a few months ago and I'm catching up watching from the start, stay safe, looking forward to more beautiful views and videos

[@TREADtheglobe]

Welcome aboard!

[@debsblue6426]

Always enjoy watching your videos and adventures here every Sunday in the USA. Curious why Marianne is the only one to drive. She does a great job. She navigates some of the most narrow areas. Much respect!❤❤

[@jonmath4182]

Yeah she is really good behind the wheel! 👍 I cannot forget driving down to Bath and a couple other english countryside last year, where the roads were really really narrow! Once I even had to stop then reverse my car for more than 30 metres to a spot with a bit of grassed shoulder on one side, to allow the other car coming from the opposite direction to pass 😳

[@TREADtheglobe]

Thanks Deb - yep Chris does the navigating, filming and editing (also the TREAD business stuff too) I love driving so it works for us - but Chris can and has driven if it is a long driving shift 😉🙌💃

My family and I have been to the same spot, BOH tea plantation and the eatery area too. Nearby you can see the ancient machines that they used to process the tea leaves. Last time went there was like 6-7 years ago. Nice cool climate.

[@Ruriko.Y]

the tea factory ❤

[@UncleDougDeli]

@@Ruriko.Y Yes the tea factory but they don’t process the tea there anymore because the machinery on display were machines that they used many decades ago. I am sure nowadays they are using more sophisticated machinery located somewhere.

When the cream is thick it goes on first but if it’s thin it goes onto the jam. That’s the official explanation from Devon and Cornwall. Thanks for sharing all that; it was great for those of us who cant go.❤️🌸🦋

The trumpet flowers are Brugmansia also known as Angels Trumpet.

I much prefer the mountainous scenery to the big cities. The tea plantations looked so lush and fresh. How amazing to find a cream tea, even if it didn't have clotted cream. Nom, nom.

[@jonmath4182]

Ahhh clotted cream with a bowl of strawberries and cups of tea in a slightly chilly afternoon, seated at a round wooden table set in the large yard of a randomly found cafe and bar as I was driving through the english countryside just last year... Lovely memories 🥰💖

I would love to retire to Malaysia and the highlands are top of my list but I don’t know if I can afford it.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

It is not expensive.

[@Ruriko.Y]

if you like the highlands, maybe you can retire in Kundasang, Sabah. It'll be much cheaper, but it's a small town, so it might not have everything you want/need. but the views of Mt. Kinabalu are stunning and the climate is perfect.

[@biddiemutter3481]

Hi Guys, I went to Las Vegas at 30 years old by myself first plane ride. I didn’t know Vegas had Mountains. You reminded me of that when you said not knowing about mountains there. You are giving all of us a different perspective. What people on planes don’t see. Thank you both. You have given me and others, I’m sure to once you get there to maybe do more exploring once you get there and rent a van, or just explore more. You did the right thing renting your house. So you can go home.

I’m from Somerset (although I claim Devon) I guess regarding the Strawberries you were talking about the Cheddar area? Anyway, been in Malaysia for the best part of 15 years and I am in awe of your driving a van around these parts. It even drove me mad in the UK with all the height and width restrictions. Especially at Park and Rides to the extent we ended up with my wife in a car following the van.
