No chance to run in between runs. Only managed to do morning runs. Fresh air, cool weather. Most importantly, nice place to gather with friends / family.
Indeed Cameron Highlands is a great place to run if you are looking for hills!!! The view is amazing in some tea plantations. We like it a lot. Here are some details of things to visit and see while you are there: http://www.tripinasia.com/cameron-highlands/
