A hot night in the jungle. The toilets had a unique flushing system, but at least it wasn't one of those squat thingies that need Barnes Wallis trajectory skills! A unique breakfast of fried (sort of) egg and boiled frankfurter sausage and weak tea, then into a longboat to visit another longhouse for the Penan people. The Penans used to be nomad...

We said civilised farewells to most of our fellow travellers, though we missed the Twitchers. Mr Binoculars had doubtless dragged his missus off to spot something or another.
