Interlude: BM Hill

My wife and I went up the Bukit Mertajam Hill at Ceruk To'Kun yesterday. The place was unusually noisy. We went to investigate and discovered that about a hundred monkeys had invaded the pool.


They were having a good time and we were amused by their antics. But we had to move on. Up the track we went, passing by the missing broken bridge. Here's a picture of the missing bridge.


Oops, sorry, there's no bridge. It's still missing and thank goodness for it. Even if the eyesore wasn't missing - or broken - it would have been a bridge over nowhere, spanning nothing. With the structure gone, it gives people like me an additional path to use at the forest park. For instance, I can now walk across the gravel from one end to the other end of the missing broken bridge.


As we continued climbing, we reached the little hut. Wow, what a great vista opened up before us, a view unblocked by the missing bridge. A great emptiness:


By the way, still from the hut, looking the other direction would uncover this little waterfall. It's nothing spectacular but it was a nice diversion.

Whats the elevation of BM hill? First time I've heard of BM hill, didn't know it existed!Out of curiosity,I drove to BM 2 weeks back as my mom was once posted there for a spell with TM. Took the trunk road and whizzed passed it without knowing and had to backtrack!Will have to revisit it again including slim river,kuala pilah and taiping.
