... preparamos para el tour de las cuatro. Teniamos la esperanza de ver orangutanes, pero estos son dificiles de ver en su ambiente. Una pareja de sudafricanos nos habian dicho que el dia anterior habian visto elefantes, asi que habia altas probabilidades de por lo menos ver estos.<br><br>Nos dirigimos rio abajo y al poco vimos los monos proboscis. <br><br>Bueno, ya acabare esta entrada, que me cierran!

... I didn&#8217;t<br>bother it too much. <br><br>The rest of the trip we continued trekking thru the jungle and<br>partaking in river cruises. We saw a crocodile eat a Bearded Pig,<br>plenty of Long Tail Macaques, Proboscis Monkeys, and best of all a huge<br>wild Orangutan. The jungle was hot, humid, and dirty. It was good to<br>see but I am glad to leave. Here I come Bali.

... will be assimilated and lose their cultural uniqueness, just like the those in Thailand and Indonesia. But one of my friend, who obviously is an optimist, points to the fact that due to the increasing commercial power of China a lot of Malayans have sent their children to schools to learn Chinese, so it would be possible that at the end they will be sinonized rather than the Chinese being Malayanized. Well, let us hope for the best.<br><br>In the morning of Oct ...

... our stuff and waited for the boat to take us the kilometre or so back upriver to the buses. When we got there, there were lots of cars and jeeps instead of the mini-buses we&#8217;d arrived in. Myself, Alice and a couple from New Zealand jumped into the first vehicle, a brand new Toyota Hilux. Everyone got into the next available cars in turn, the two drunken Dutch ********s, who were by now two very hung-over Dutch ********s ended up in the last car, slightly smaller ...

... poured out onto the floor!) No shower just a bucket and scoop. We learned to flush the loo by pouring the bucket of water instead &#8211; much safer!<br><br>It was hot and sticky and there was no fan in the room but after a request to the staff one duly arrived by boat from somewhere down the river &#8211; thankfully it worked!<br><br>The first river trip was fantastic there were only 6 of us tourists and so it wasn&#8217;t crowded. Within a few minutes of going upstream we saw ...

Just a quick one here whilst i've some time to kill...<br><br>After climbing the mountain i had one night to recover back in Kota Kinabalu and the next day i woke up to find that walking was proving to be very challenging and extremely painful. After hanging around for a while i decided that i'd pack up and move on anyway so i jumped on the bus to Sepilok at around lunchtime, it took the whole afternoon to reach my destination but luckily i had found an ...

... up and book a bus for that same evening. As it transpires we found out that all the buses were full for the evening. The dodgy blokes at the station tried it on saying only &#8216;extra bus&#8217; goes tonight and then quoting us with ridiculously high prices. Holding our ground we found a bus going to Kota Bahru for 40 MYR each. The ticket we bought had a price of 30.80 MYR on it but once again they had decided to stick on government tax of 30%. When I asked the woman what is ...

... decided it was safer to ask than guess where they were from. It was only Redcar! They know Saltburn and Whitby well and were just like people who I'd be friends with from back home. In fact, Marlborough seems to be very similar to Redcar in a lot of ways! They were spending a couple of nights in Sepilok before heading off into the jungle on a river adventure to stay in a jungle camp for a couple of days. Seriously tempting! I decided ...

... was lying on her back and holding her baby up in the air and playing with it - like the flying game we play with our babies. There was also much drama when another male swung into view and one of the mums was obviously feeling threatened and attempted to shake him off the rope he was on - it was really amusing. So we watched these beautiful creatures for about an hour before making our way back to our lodge for a long soak in the jacuzzi to ...
