... be 100, versus the human (and perhaps more specifically female) instinct that all of the little buggers should survive and all must make it to the sea. Hence the catch-22 of having your torch on to make sure you werent treading on any, but then in doing so attracting hatchlings away from the sea with the light. Fortunately there are rangers with a better feel for the natural process who mop up after the tourists have satiated their cuteness-lust.<br>

... we passed. We were quite enchanted by the whole experience!<br><br>We&#8217;re back in Kota Kinabalu now, where we&#8217;re enjoying a bit of a break from being constantly on the move. The opportunity to do some laundry has been most welcome (though we&#8217;ll miss the space-creating magic worked when Mike takes his boots off), as is the chance to catch up with the blog (we&#8217;re well aware that we have our responsibilities!) and make some ...

... although definitely not local) go to the English Tea House &amp; Restaurant located at Agnes Keith museum and can have some of the best Tom Yum soup and great deserts and coffee (Seafood soup was 11R and Mineral Water 5.50R + taxes = 18.15). The garden tables are great as well as the breeze that comes from being on the hilltop. If you don't want to spend 5+R for a good coffee here the next best place that had decent coffee for 2.40R was KFC!!!.

En revenant de noytre expedition sur la rivierre, nous avons eu la confirmaton pour notre excursion a l'ile aux tortues. <br><br>Une super journee pour se baigner, et faire de l'apnee, il faut chaud et il n'y a que du soleil. Apres 45 minutes de bateau, on arrive sur la fameuse ile aux tortues, en effet, il y a plein de traces de tortues sur la plage, c'est la preuve qu ...

... time turned to day light. ev**y time she turned around it blinded the driv** of the boat so he couldn&#8217;t see wh**e he was going and the guide couldn&#8217;t face us to tell us what little he had seen because when he turned around he was blinded! Me and shelley sat at the back giggling away. I had anoth** little s****** sa we watched an owl have a ****!<br> The safari continued and we all followed the spotlight with our heads in unison searching for a random pair of eyes to ...

... utans had left the feeding platform, the smaller macaque monkeys came to polish off the remains. One of the orang-utans hadn't gone as far as first thought, appearing on the viewing platform, and proceeded to walk right in front of us. Most of the orang-utans that feed at the sanctuary were either born there, or were rescued and brought there, so they have a less fearful nature than they should have of humans. The idea of the sanctuary is to integrate them ...

... irritated him during the day. We averaged 4 or 5 so I think we were at the top of his good list (can you believe that). My favorite box was labeled Gigantic Animal Movies. Mayfair Inn is a great place to stay. Flat screen TVs, DVD players, shower in room, a/c and amusing signs in the rooms, free internet and wifi. Other than the towels being a little thread bare and his art of wrapping half used toilet paper rolls onto the existing roll in your room it was a great place to stay. We ...

... drive from the Organgatan sancturary so they just drop you when you need to go. Breakfast is included but you have to buy other meals but the prices are still really good. So next stop was at last to the Oranatans - wow this was what I had been waiting for and we were told that the best time was the morning but we hadn't be able to make it so we decided to try the afternoon and we still had a back up of tomorrow morning if we had no luck. It closes during the middle of the day ...

... is a huge buzz - you can't get as close as you can at the Sanctuary, but it's so much better because they're wild. On the way back to the camp a White bellied fish eagle swooped down right in front of our boat and caught a fish and then landed in a nearby dead tree to eat it - so that was wonderfully dramatic to watch. After returning to camp and eating breakfast we set off on our jungle walk - which was fun but we were plagued and i mean ...

... Simple, pas de cloison, plein de fenetre, un escaliers genial et tout en bois (de borneo bien sur), plafond de 15'. Le seule probleme, c'est qu'elle mesure au moin 65 pieds par 30 a part des balcons exterieurs et pas d'isolation pour nos hivers (on essais de trouver une solution). Enfin, on a droit de rever!!!!!!!!!! Nous y sommes reste plus d'une heure a revasser et surtout a cause de la pluie ...
