MINI Excursion 4

Hello again... Few things going on at the moment. I didn't have time to put it up in my blog but I intend to. Currently my passion towards my MINI are at it's peak. I have this 1974 1000 Austin Mini restored and converted to 1275 fuel injection block.... I installed a GPS unit/Media player for entertainment thus I have been thinking of things to do or go as part of our excursion with it. Family fun MINI Excursion... Since it will be a continuous kind of thing we will number it just to keep track of how many we had...

I'm so lucky to have a very understanding and supportive wife. What's best she appreciate the kind of things we do together... Last weekend we had our 4th excursion. We end up at Tekala Fall, Semenyih. Very fun and interesting ride indeed.

Tekala Fall it's about 10 minutes drive from Semenyih Town. It's a little less than an hour from my place. Upon reaching the Tekala Fall... we head up a little bit further to see the Semenyih Dam. WoW... what a supprise... the place was very nice surrounded by unspoiled pristine jungle. The Dam was huge and very scenic. I didn't know place like this exist near my place. We saw a few nice fishing resort along the way too. It's so tempting not to stop and to try it out... maybe some other time as we weren't prepare for it.

I know many already know about this place but for us family it's out first time there. My first impression judging by the number of cars park near the entrance it will be packed of people. To our surprise it wasn't. Maybe because of the long stretch of the river making it looking less crowded. Entrance fee is RM1 for an adult and RM0.50 for a child. I think it's worth the fees looking at it the place is well taken care of except for the toilet near the pool. About 50 meters from the entrance there are 2 pools for visitor to enjoy. The upper pool is for kids and it's only about knee deep. The second pool there are few spots where the dept is chest deep. The only thing spoiling the deep pool was it's full of huge jagged rock. You can seriously hurt yourself if not careful.

We sat up a tent and had our packed lunch before we hit the water. The water was nice, cool and clear. Kids really enjoyed it. I believe there was a fall further up but didn't get a chance to go and see it.

Around 4pm it started to rain so we packed up and left. Had some ice cream too before we hit the road. Was a little surprise when we saw few horse running freely near the road. (click here for video clip) It's like some western country side or something... he he he...

Oh well... Journey back kids were mostly asleep and was raining... Nice.... nice... there was nothing like driving a MINI in the rain.....

Here's some of the pictures of our 4th MINI Excursion.
