Road trip to Malaysia: Ipoh, Cameron highlands, Kuala Lumpur

It’s a long trip requiring 6 hours drive to Ipoh. For us we start our journey at 9 am and arrive just before 6 pm. In between we did stop for breaks and lunch. Traffic is considered smooth although we are expecting jam as its Hari Raya Puasa. It was the drive to Cameron that is considered highly jammed. We expect to reach early as it’s a 2 hour drive up but with bad traffic we only manage to check in around 5 pm. Its super crowded at Cameron everywhere is packed with people. All the food places is also very long queues particularly for the well known Chinese food places. On return, the highway is not able to cope at all. At many sections of the road, the drive is almost to a standstill. We left Cameron at 3 pm and arrive to Kuala Lumpur past 9 pm with a quick rest stop in between. Monday night was traffic to Singapore is slightly better but still speed on the highway is still below average. Cameron highland is quite boring. The highlight of the trip is the bum...
