Tampin, a Malaysia Town you probably never heard of. We had a superb breakfast at a local breakfast spot before heading over to Gunung Datuk for a hike. Well, to be more accurate, it was a climb. Littered with humongous rocks and winding roots of big trees, the hike was surprisingly charming and unexpectedly steep. We fuelled up with a mind-bogglingly good lunch at a local village before setting off to search for waterfall. It was a tough day, but loads and loads of fun!
