金马伦的第三天，充满了惊喜。
思明夫妇为我们安排了参观花园及果园的活动。
首先，他们带领我们来到他们拥有的花园。思明是专科种植出口到日本市场的菊花。
这些花都必须经过严格的品质管理及检测才能够出口到日本。
过后，我们就到邻近的巴登威力参观葡萄园。
一进到葡萄园，大家都对满挂树上的普通所吸引住，惊叹不已。
这个果园，成功的引进了来自澳洲的品种，因为较能够适应这里的气候。
客人及游客都可以在这里购买葡萄，目前每公斤售卖马币17元。我们因为好奇，这是马来西亚出产的普通，所以就购买一些试试及品味。不过，比起外国进口品种，当然逊色及价钱更贵。
参观了葡萄园，下一站就是参观柿子 园。
这也是我们第一次参观这柿子园。
这是一个家庭式果园，已有超过四十年的历史了。
柿子每年只出产一次，通常是在八月至十月之间。柿子售卖价钱从马币九元一公斤起，以果子的大小为准。
这天学习到了许多新事物，特别是我的两个孩子。
结束满载收获的一天之前，还得到意外的收获。我们带孩子去参观加尔默罗圣母教堂的时候，意外的见到我们的前本堂廖神父，及刚在怡保参加了他的弥撒的赎主会若瑟神父。
他们是在金马伦参加神父们的年度退省。当时他们刚好在一天的活动结束后，出来外面做运动，而与我们恰巧相遇。

The third day in Cameron Highlands was an exciting day.
Paul and Cindy had arranged flower and fruit farms visit for us.
Firstly, we went to their very own flower farm at Ringlet. Paul is specialised in Chrysanthemum farming caters for Japanese market.
The flowers has to go through stringent test before exporting to Japan.
After the flower farm, we went to visit a grape farm at Bertam Valley near Ringlet.
All of us were excited seeing bountiful of grapes hanging on the vines.
The farm has successfully brought in species from Australia which is more adaptable to climate in Cameron Highlands.
Visitors and tourists can buy grapes from the farm which is sold at RM 17.00 per Kg. The novelty of being Malaysia grown grapes prompted us to buy some fruits to try out. It tasted not better and was much more expensive than imported ones.
And again , it was the first time for us to visit a persimmon farm in Cameron Highlands.
It was a small family farm with more than 40 years history.
The trees fruit once a year only. The season usually starts from August to October.
The fruits are sold from RM 9:00 per kg, depending on sizes.
It was a learning day trip for all of us, especially my two children.
Topping up a great day with sweet icing, we met Fr. Julian Leow and Fr. Joe Stephen at the parish house of The Church of our Lady of Mt Carmel. They were attending a five-day clergy annual retreat with many other priests from different dioceses.
We were visiting the church at about 5:00 pm.
Fr. Julian was going for a run while Fr. Joe was going for a walk after a day's programme.
