One Day Stomach Flu
There are 13 of us travelling together on this trip. One little guy was wretching all the way up from Singapore. We thought he was just car sick. Actually he caught the stomach flu and within the next 2 days, 11 of us came down with the bug. Pretty awful virus. We all took turns making awful noises vomitting everything out. I escaped the vomitting but felt like I was dying with a bloated, gassy abdomen. The house was abnormally quiet yesterday as we all just lay about completely listless. Mrs Wong had nothing to do as even the aroma of food made us nauseous. Amazingly, almost all of us woke up this morning feeling brand new. Yesterday was just a bad memory. Bizarre.

We went to check out the Boh Tea Plantation at Sungei Palais today. There's a cool new building with a cantilevered terrace overlooking the plantation. Gorgeous 180 degree view. Tried a nice light garden tea called Bukit Cheeding.

It's been really wet. We heard that 6 cars were trapped up at Gunung Berinchang yesterday because a landslide had blocked the narrow road. They had to send the Orang Asli with food and supplies for them to stay the night. Just now we saw a helicopter - perhaps to rescue them.
