... room only stumble across a group of wild hatchlings that had just come up from their nest (i.e.just on the beach). As after nearly stepping on these we helped to carry them down to the sea - all very exciting for an animal nut like me.<br>The hatchling release process to me was an interesting culture clash, on the one hand natures scatter gun of producing hundreds of hatchlings and firing them off in all directions in the hope that a few live ...

... more likely to take offence at our presence and take off! Also racked up a reticulated python, crocodiles (a tiny tiny baby in the water, plus a large on a bank) and a rarer sighting of a flat-headed cat, stalking through the bushes and then preening and dozing on a comfy looking log. On our way back we saw the eyes of several crocodiles reflected in the spotlight, seeming to watch us warily before silently sinking below the surface with a ripple ...

May Fair Hotel (No. 24, Jalan Pryer, 1st Floor. Tel. 089-219855, 219892 fax: 089-221827). First couple of nights had the last room available and paid 45R (not incl. Breakfast) the room smelled quite musty. After my trip to Sepilok I returned and am in Room 304 and is quite comfortable and costs 50 R. The Hawaii restaurant in Hotel City View recommended in Lonely Plant is not good at all and the service is very poor. However, if you want a real ...

... monitors, probiscus monkeys, plus lots of birds.<br>After getting back to camp and having breakfast, we packed up our bags, got back on the boat and got a special farewell with the guides singing a wonderful rendition of James Blunt's "Goodbye my Lover". Ok, they only knew four lines, but they were four great lines!<br>The trip back to the Ops Base was a lot more comfortable in a air conditioned ute. <br>After lunch, we got a bus back to KK with a couple that were on our trip to the jungle<br>

... well the woman in particular ref**red to h** book of animals to corretly name the snake and then jotted down h** sighting in a notebook. On the boat the woman had the biggest binoculars you have ev** seen akin to two hubble telescopes strapped to h** head, but to top it off on top of h** head was the biggest head torch in the world! Seems a bold claim but I can honestly say it was like a scuba diving lamp strapped to h** nogging - it lit up the whole area it was so bright! The ...

... utan due to the poor directions from the hotel, so we checked out the small museum, where I learnt that orang-utan means person-jungle, or rather person of the jungle, had a slow lunch, then went back with plenty of time for the afternoon feeding session. There were two orang-utans that showed up, and it was very interesting to see their less than graceful figures swing along ropes, and hang in various precarious positions that they are used to. When the ...

... her and she looked around kinda like what and trails off and he never moves a muscle and tells her to "keep talking, keep talking". He also basically told me to get my big head out from in front of his TV. I was sitting on the floor going thru movies and he told me to take the box to the counter so he could watch TV and we would both be happy. He had thousands of movies and he tightly regulated how many you could have in your room, the amount changed depending on his mood and if you ...

... which we are really keen to see. Anyhow he came to our hotel, took us through the itinerary and then suggested this amazing place in Sipalong for the night. It is called Paganakan and the rooms are all in the jungle - well the edge of it anyhow and a few palm trees but it is really lovely and peaceful and we are in this long house with about 20 bunks all to ourselves, it is really really nice and Anton the guy who runs it is really really friendly. It is just a few ...

... every sort of noise and it was beautiful. But getting to sleep was a bit of a challenge. But we were up at 6 for our dawn boat safari. We set off and we saw the most amazing array of animals. We saw 7 wild orangutans - two males (one with the wide disc-shaped face), one mummy orangutan with her baby and another mummy with two of her youngsters. We were so lucky. That is actually a record for the camp - 7 orangutans in an hour. The fact they are ...
