Sepilok Nature Resort Sandakan

... Pekingiin hovin hopealautasille vuosien saatossa tuhansittain..) joten tanne sai perustettua katevasti "basecampin" tasmaiskuja suunnitellessa..<br><br>Ensimmainen etappimme oli Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre jossa puunlatvat heiluivat ja manner sai kyytia takkuturkkien painaessa pitkin viidakkoa. Seurattiin Orankien ruokailua ja haroilya aamupaivan ajan ja taman jalkeen lahdettiin Labuk Bay Proboscis Monkey Sanctuarylle jossa saatiin seurata ...

... and all the clothes would have to go. Lucky Jason was treated to a striptease and strange war dance including warbling noises and I lept about the room ridding myself on ants (they were pretty big ones). So by the time I had confirmed all ants were departed from my body and found a new ant free set of clothes we were late for the boat in any case! <br>Yes, whisper it softly, but this may have been one of the funniest things I have ever seen in my ...

... They did bring out a young Orang-Utang from the nursary at the 3 pm feeding. This is part of preparing them to return to the jungle. Admission is 30R + 10R for camera and this is for the two feedings of the day. The next day I spent at the pool and enjoyed a wonderful hot sunny day before returning to Sandiluk to get ready for my next journey - Java, Indonesia.<br><br>There is a 40000 Rp. airport tax when leaving Malaysia.

... and they charged us only a tenth of the price the tour company had wanted. There were a few people at the centre but not as many as at the Orang- Utans. The platform was a smaller better set-up too, it was more like looking out from a private balcony. There were Silver Leaf Monkeys and Proboscis feeding when we arrived, the Silver Leaf ones coming onto the balcony to take the food straight out of peoples hands. The Proboscis kicked up a racket now and then, when ...

... by our next host and driven 2 hours by 4 wheel drive to the Last Frontier Resort on the Kinabatangan river. The lodge is accessed by climbing up 538 steps. Accommodation was simple but clean and we had our own bathroom with hot shower. There is no air con but the fan works well to keep it plenty cool enough to sleep. The really nice thing about this place is that it is very small with only a few guests at a time, which means the extremely hospitable owners provide very ...

... brought out some rice wine they had been fermenting and gave it to us to drink, which we did through a bamboo straw. We offered some to the guys who brought us this concoction and they point blank refused instead choosing to watch us drink and pass the bucket around the group from a distance&#8230;. Something told me to be wary of someone who wont drink himself what he has offered to you, and with good reason&#8230;. Rice wine blows your head off!

... did what was needed, while leora grabbedt he nosh and we checked out of our hostel. taxi was waiting to take us to the bus. 9:45am. we leave for the bus (15 minutes later than we were supposed to). we get slowed in traffic despite the efforts of our driver - malaysia's future entry to F1 racing no doubt - so he called the bus to make sure it didn't leave without us. i kid you not. the hostel lady had already reserved us ...

... So in conclusion take them outside and put near your neighbors' hut so they can suck them and then not need blood again for 2 years thus leave you in peace! We took a 3 hour trek the next day which was a tough but pleasant 3 hours of plodding through some of the meanest mud, avoiding leeches and watching out for all things that could get you.... Our highlight was finding a hatchling python on the path that played ...

... but at least had some minced sweetcorn which was OK. Still hungry I went to try a cafe mentioned in my guidebook but being a westerner I got given some strange version of honey chicken - a cold fried chicken drumstick covered in red sweet sauce with cold rice? Oh well, bring on Thai cuisine (or maybe I should spend more on food?). Back at the hostel I ...
