... can pop up anywhere in the jungle. The flower itself was a few meters away and was pretty big, the biggest one ever recorded was 1.5m.
Having seen the flower it was now off to swim in the waterfall and wash some of this mud off. Not sure which Gary enjoyed more the swim in the waterfall or the fact that all the girl just stripped off to change in and out of their swim suits.......boobies everywhere (sorry no photos). The walk down was just a slippery ...

... some wonderfull views. Got to the mossey forest named so as its covered in moss and trecked through this for 30mins or so then went to fathers guest house and had dinner with nina. We met up the next day and went to the strawberry farm it tasted sooo good especially the ice cream. we also ,managed to fit tea and sconns in and an lovely indian that night. As you can see we spent most of the day eating.

... There were no apparent guest houses in town, and so I hunted the hotels for a cheap deal.
I was a little down on sleep so I went for an air-conditioned room at 40 ringgit (7.50 ish).
I didn't quite check the room as well as I should have (I'm still learning!) and on further inspection I discovered that one of the five windows had a dodgy latch with a snapped handle. It would not close, and I could see that entry was very simple - it was an easy climb to the window, and ...

... ringgit for a 2 hours journey and the guy send me to the front seat, privilege of white skinny tourists as me, jejejej there is this guy there on the right row who works for the bus company, very talkative, he tells me a lot of the things we begin to see, the jungle people villages, the typical fruits and flowers, the trees, It´s so beautiful, I can see the deep jungle from a pretty decent altitude, I felt like I was begging to see what I was looking for! The driver ...

... the beds for the cold nights, a really comfortable common area showing films and loads of local info and an amazing kitchen that did a superb variety of local and international food, the chef must have been trained in or by an european as this was good western food as apposed to the strange way some cafes can attempt our dishes.

Content and well fed we decided to slow down the traveling even more and spend three nights there, Ramadan being in ...

... in a waterfall - the refreshing water was heaven, as it was hot (but not as humid here).
Also tried my hand at using a blowdart - my accuracy was pretty poor - but that is not really suprising.
After trek visited Tea plantation and Tea Factory - it would seem the malaysians love there tea more than the English.

... conservation des éléphants. Le seul centre du pays ou les pachydermes sont recueillis, soignes et où ils peuvent vivre dans une zone protégée. Certes nous avons assisté aux bains et repas d’une famille mais le contexte n’était guère réjouissant. On ne s’attendait pas à voir une horde de touristes agglutinés autour des animaux armés de leurs puissants appareils photos, se bousculant pour leurs donner une banane en gloussant, faisant la queue ...

... lost control of the 4x4 and his rear right wheel slid out and was left dangling over a steep drop off to the jungle. The driver, francis, initially tried to drive out of the situation but the wheel spin spushed us out hanging over the edge in a precarious position. Shelley and I where both at the back right of the vehicle. I decided best thing was to get everyone out. So I threw open the back door jumped out getting shelley and Natasha out at the same time. For a ...

... was on our way back. We did it, very "proffesionally"... The result - we saw one blue bird and one moth... So much for the animals spotting... We started the jungle walk at 9 a.m., and as soon as we entered I started sweating. I was litterally leaking! Jungle is great, so peaceful. All you can hear are birds. And it smells nice. And the humidity is just good for your skin. There were leaches, that I hate because they hidously lurk at people passing ...

... I think Anna and I were the only Americans on the island, which made watching soccer so much fun because we enjoyed the company of Australians, Germans, Belgians, French, Spanish, and Malays. We also enjoyed a rainforest/jungle trek across the island to that secluded Juara beach. The jungle was incredibly foreign and intriguing. We saw ants marching along four lane interstates that ...
