A enjoyable holiday

Last year during the December holidays, I went to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia for a vacation. We went there for five days, and on one of those days we went for a day trip to Genting Highlands. I am going to tell you about the highlights there.

First, we had to get to the place, and what surprised me was the amount of time used to get there. From our hotel, we walked to a nearby train station, then took a train to another station with a bus terminal nearby. That took around an hour. After that, we had to take a bus journey to the cable car station. Another hour was gone. Later, we had to line up to get a ticket and board the cable car. That was probably the only part I didn't really like, because there was a huge number of people in front of us. I guess the only consolation was that it didn't take long for each individual person to get a ticket. But even then, it ook around 30 to 40 minutes.

Then, I realised something: Nearly 3 hours was gone, and we weren't even there yet!

But the wait was more then worth it. The view from the cable car as we ascended was spectacular, but what made me appreciate the view even more was that it was incredibly misty. The top of nearby hills were enshrouded in a thick mist, giving a feeling of serenity and mystery to the whole place. At one point, it became so misty that we lost sight of the descending cable cars that passed us regularly within a few seconds.

It was really something else.
