6 Johor : Chillaxing at Kota Tinggi Waterfall

Our trip to southern Johor was planned ages ago. Flight tickets were purchased the year before courtesy of Air Asia's cheap fare promotion. Three girls - shopping, eating, sight-seeing ..bliss.

We took a casual drive to Kota Tinggi Waterfall on one of the days. It was the weekend. The place was bustling with picnicking people. Young men were carrying tube floats up the slightly hilled road.

Tainted by cloudy water and suspicious cleanliness, it was clearly not one of the best waterfalls I have been to. Lack of maintenance, less than attractive surroundings along the river and a toilet that screamed 'enter at own risk!'. I can't help but feel that more could have been done to preserve, I believe, a once beautiful location.

 Anyway, we were only here to chill, chat and eat rambutans. This is our bag of Vitamin C.

We amused ourselves watching kids float down the water slide. There were waves of hello and picture posing. I felt inclined to snap a few photos for them. There was no stopping the warm feeling that washed over me.

An hour plus and many jokes later, we left for our next destination. Tata, Kota Tinggi Waterfall. The place may not have been perfect but the company was.
