11-Dec-2005, a day where both of us should join Starwalk, end up with a trip up to Tropical Spice Garden in Batu Ferringhi (I will not want to explain on why, :P).
Eventhough there is Starwalk happening, there is a lots of cars moving towards town area...
The front gate of Tropical Spice Garden...
There are just a few car park available opposite the place, we decided to park just at the road side (since everybody doing so).
Opposite the place, is a nice stretch of beach with lots of families having picnic...
The entrance fees per adult is RM13.00. You'll still need to pay RM1.00 if you wish to get into the visitor center which we don't as we think it is too much as the entrance fee is already expensive.
Just after the entrance, there is a nice garden with a lake...
The small waterfall at the beginning of the lake. The lake is also the starting point of the 3 suggested trail in the garden.
There is this stream crossing by using the stepping stone on the stream.
My gf and I on the stepping stone...
Staircase lead to a nice place....A 2 person giant swing made of wood on a platform which overview the front part of the garden.
My gf and I sitting on the swing. We had keep visiting this swing (3 times) to rest and take a break. The air is cooling over here (eventhough it is almost noon) and the view is nice...
Another stream we found in the middle of the jungle trail.
Some cute plant found in the garden...
Part of the scenery in the garden.
Some kind of ferns.
A pair of traditional Chinese doors stand at the end of the pavillion.
Gateway to the orange trail - "Spice Trail"
"Cat's whiskers" plant.
Dragonfly resting on the plant...
Walkway towards the highest point of the garden.
A pond sitting at the highest point of the garden.
Bamboo pipes channel the natural water stream...
A wall which is planted with bamboo on it.
There is also a shuttle which will take you round the whole garden......
The end.
