KEPONG METROPOLITAN PARK

kuala lumpur November 24, 2018

This is a nice park. You can find some pinecone trees here. The view from the observatory tower was not bad. The bird conservatory was not there when I went there. However, I could see lots of birds perching near the lake. It is still a very good place for an evening jog. It's so near to Batu Caves too. So you can drop by here after your visit to Batu Caves.

Nice lake with lots of fishes. It was a bit noisy when I was there. The noise was from the construction site which was located near the lake. I really enjoyed strolling around the lake. I saw some people fishing at the lake too.

I was very excited when I found a pinecone tree. This was my first time seeing a real pinecone! It was so small but I love it so much. I saw some rare fruits at the park too.

Lovely pinecone tree with these raindrops on its leaves.

LEURA CASCADE

australia November 03, 2018

Today I want to share with you about this amazing cascade in Blue Mountains, Sydney. The track is well-maintained and it leads you down through a narrow valley shaded by tall tree ferns. It will also takes you down to the brink of Bridal Veil Falls. There are many tracks in this area. When you're here, please look for the sign pointing to the Prince Henry Cliff Top Walk and it will take you to the Gordon Falls. In order to reach Gordon waterfall, you need to walk for one hour (one way!) I did not go to the Gordon Falls because I had to rush back to Sydney and it was really dangerous to walk alone.

I just walked alone to Leura Cascade. I didn't know where the path would lead me to. The area was so quiet and there was no sign of human. *just kidding* There were 3 human. The other tourists seemed not interested with the cascade, so there were only three people got down from the hop on hop off bus. I followed two women to walk towards the cascade. I love this place so much! It's very calming to listen the sound of cascading water.

Some logs and ferns.

I love the paths.

A few months ago before I traveled to Sydney, I read a news about the death of a worker in Blue Mountains. When I saw the sign and I was shocked. So this was the path! They closed it down because of the accident. Prince Henry Cliff is the toughest and most dangerous route! I couldn't imagine if I trespassed this area. I could have died alone :'( I was quite sad at the time and I really had the thought to just enter that place and get lost in the deep beautiful mountain. Haha just kidding! I wouldn't take the risk though. I love my life. *smile*

I like the wooden signboard too.

Lovely place, isn't it.

Few more minutes to go. I was catching my breathe. I couldn't imagine I had to walk all the way up when I wanted to return to the bus stop. Stairs and more stairs again! I was so terrified by the thought of walking up the stairs after my Blue Mountains' trip. I need to buy a pair of nice hiking shoes soon.
