Man of the Forest
... taking a photo of the alpha male, it headed straight for me so I quickly jumped out of the way as it jumped up onto the handrail and very noisily ran straight past everyone on the viewing decking! Bear in mind he was the size of a medium dog but sounded like a rhino when it ran past. Soph hadn't seen me dart out of the way and thought it was the annoying children running around but turned to see otherwise. We managed to get a video of his second run back to his ...
Crocodile Farm

It's hard to be too annoyed at this woman but she is ...
Rat City
Woke up, had a **** shower again, this place is balls for it, you get about 1 minute of heat then it's all down hill from there.

Another one to come back to in later years I think!!

Definately worth the money
... shave to get to the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre in time for feeding time, so we stormed down the road. We made it in time, we had to walk along this long wooden walk way into the Sabah Rainforest. It was small at just over 40 sq km and is one of four sanctuaries in the world. Orphaned and injured orangutans are brought to the centre to be rehabilitated back into the wild, to forest life. The waiting platform was full of other tourists but we pushed our way to the front. ...
