Genting Highlands

Kristina's relatives on vacation from England decided to go for a day trip to Genting Highlands.

Indeed of driving, we decided to take the Genting bus from K.L Sentral. We started late, so time was a premium.

The bus left K.L Sentral at 1.30 pm and we only arrived at Genting at about 3pm. By the time we arrived at the Genting Skybridge lower station, about half way up, to board the cable car to Genting Highlands Resort, it had started to drizzle.

So, the views from the gondola were somewhat blurry.

Because of the drizzle, the out-door theme park was not a viable option for the kids.

So, the kids had to opt for the Indoor-Door Theme Park where Leo and Sophia decided to have fun crashing into each other.

Ming and her daughter Sophia were supposed to ride the indoor cyclone but they decided against it after having being made to wait for some 20 minutes while on site maintenance works were being carried out on the cars.

Because the kids were not allowed into the resort casinos, we adults, except for Ming, went in to try our luck while the kids went for some arcade games. But it wasn't a lucky day. Anyway, it was just for the fun of it and we never betted big.

The Genting Skybridge Upper Station Bathed In Eerie Light

For me, the most enjoyable part of the trip was the ride down in the cable car. The forest below looked so fresh and quiet and the silence just enveloped you. It was so meditative. It was about 7.30 pm when our gondola left the upper station. It was still drizzling.
