Today 28/4/2012 (Saturday),
actually kat KL ada perhimpunan Bersih 3.0 – duduk bantah. Because of avoiding all the massive traffic
jams like what had happened during Bersih 2.0 last time, I decided to take a vacation.
A perfect back to nature getaway. This time I chose Gopeng, Adeline’s Rest
House.
This time aku pergi dengan Aznol.
I hope he will enjoy the getaway…….

| Pondok buluh- selesa |
Bertolak dari Subang Jaya about
8.00am, non-stop sampai ke Gopeng menerusi PLUS highway. Setelah exit di
Gopeng, kita orang just follow the map given by the rest house. Kinda easy. Tak
sesat, terus sampai about 10.30am. Setelah checked-in kami terus ke rest house.
Actually Adeline’s has 2 type of accommodations. Villa and rest house. Due to
villas fully booked kami stay di rest house – a hut, pondok buluh
actually…really back to nature…kesian aznol….. Almaklumlah, aku called for
booking pun about a week je…lepas watched Astro Chanel 702, Discovery Perak.
After lunch provided by the rest
house, we are preparing for our caving activities. Sounds like fun, the last
time I went for caving was on February, Gua Gelap, Gua Keris and Gua Pahlawan
(kot..forgotten), sewaktu XPDC Gunung Stong with Alesco Explorer Club (AEC) kat
Kelantan.

| Gua Kandu |
Gua Kandu, Gopeng gua pilihan.
Actually ada 2 gua, satu lagi is gua tempurung. But due to masa yang suntuk
kami just pergi Gua Kandu. This time, aku dan Aznol tak pergi berdua sahaja. We
are accompanied by a group of 10 from
Negeri Sembilan. Trekkers Along & Andrew. Big group is enjoying too…..much
much better dari if pergi berdua je. They are fun and friendly.
Dari rest house, cuba teka kami
pergi naik apa? Naik lorry….!!!Duduk kat belakang. Terasa macam lembu nak disembelih plak…hahaha…
 |
| atas lori, perjalanan dari rest house to gua kandu takes about 15 minutes |
Trekker habaq kat kami, it takes
about 2hours for this caving trip. Perjalanan bermula dengan a short jungle
trekking, tapi letih gak la coz terpaksa mendaki guna tali. Tak perlu laju-laju
coz we are not in a race, we are here to enjoy mother nature. Sambil trekking
sambil melihat keindahan alam ciptaan Allah.
Biasalah dalam gua gelap, so torch light is required. Nasib baik aku ada
bawak…. Terpukau gak la aku tengok all the stalagtite & stalagmite
formation dalam gua ni. Keajaiban alam ciptaan tuhan. Terjadi akibat titisan
air beratus-ratus tahun…masyaAllah….. Tapi tak boleh sentuh, coz ditakuti akan
membantutkan formation tersebut… let’s let nature works by itself okay….

Gua Kandu caving activity is
really adventurous, macam-macam gaya kita orang buat…. Bukan setakat berjalan,
mendaki tapi merangkak, melompat etc. Agak lasak, that’s what we are looking
for actually. Di bahagian gua yang agak curam, tali disediakan. So we all kene
lah buat macam-macam gaya, jalan ketam, jalan kebelakang…. Letih gak la…. Seronok!!!
Malam, we are served with
barbeque …. First class…memang terbaik dari ladang….
 |
| satay, bbq daging, udang, ayam, bamboo soup....marvellous |
Malam ada activity night jungle
trekking, kalau berminat boleh la join…. Tapi aku just duduk lepak je la….
The next day, after breakfast
lots of fun activities are waiting. These pictures enough to tell how enjoy
this getaway is…..
 |
| ATV kat ladang kelapa sawit..thrill |
 |
| Ulu Geruntum waterfall |
 |
| water abseiling |
Percutian kali ini memang seronok.
Terputus hubungan dengan dunia luar- no hp, no internet, no tv and no radio….totally
terputus. Yang ada cuma all the guests, flora & fauna, dan komuniti orang
asli. Hinggakan aku terlupa hari.... suasana sekeliling tenang, bersih, nyaman
dan hijau….. and the people who I just met – they’re very friendly.
 |
| terbaik....definitely will come again |
Apabila sampai di rumah, aku pun
start on facebook…. Terkejut!!! Some of my friends updated their status on the
Bersih 3.0 issue. Videos & photos, semuanya menunjukkan keganasan,
huru-hara. Seketika aku rasa, bestnya kalau aku terus tinggal kat Adeline’s. Tenang,
aman, dan segar….. Suddenly, I decided apabila dah pencen nanti nak stay kat
Muar, Johor – my kampung. Hoping at that time, Muar still like today- unchanged.
Some place we need to keep it untouched……….
p/s: ooo...in the end of the getaway, Aznol admits he enjoyed it and asks me for next back to nature trip....
