Day 2 - The Spice Garden

After breakfast we headed to The Tropical Spice Garden, just a few kilometers away. All of us love gardening especially herbs and spices, so the place was a must-see. Masyaallah, what a wonderful place it was! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the place amazing, beautiful and well-maintained. We abandoned audio tour device after 3 spots and ventured on our own. We mainly followed the express route but went out of the way to see interesting plants and trees based on the map.

Jay brought along her monopod and we went wefie crazy :). I don't like taking photos and I am not photogenic. But then, what the hell! We were on a holiday and it didn't matter as long as the memories were captured :). Interestingly, Aliyah enjoyed herself as well.

We ended the tour at the gift shop and brought back spices - the actual cinnamon not cassia, blended spices (I bought tandoori masala), dried stevia leaves, etc. We had a chat with the saleslady, asking her where best to eat in Ferringhi. Tini, as we later found out her name, suggested a few places we should go, the ones where locals go, not the commercialised ones.

 This was quite a high platform...

 I love this old wooden door. We went up the stairs to spice section - segala pepper, lengkuas, etc. Siap ada huge stone grinder people of the past used to grind spices.

 Berdiri kat platform buaian ni agak gayat sebenarnya... Tinggi tu...

 There was a stream well "manipulated". Here and there were beautiful cascading water features.

 Jay ni tak kira apa berlaku di belakang. Asyik bermonopod je.
