    I started the day with my favourite chili and vegetable roti which gave me the energy for our journey. We were on our way to Little Adams Peak when we stumbled across the track leading to the 9 Arch Bridge. The walk down to the bridge was steep through the bushy mountain range. When we arrived there was hundreds of people and we decided to go on the less crowded side across the track. It was perfect timing because right after a train came and we would have been stuck on the bridge. We decided to head home and instead of going up the mountain again, we decided to go along the track back to Ella station. This was a good idea because I spotted another train in the distance. We all decided to wait for the train to come and we got a great photo of the train in the tunnel. On the walk home we spotted some cool plants, which are called sensitive mimosa. The cool thing about this plant is when you touch its leaves, it folds away to prevent being eaten by insects. But watch out as it has razor sharp thorns along its stem! I had to find out the hard way!
    When we were only a few kilometres from Ella Station I found a massive 8 foot long snake skin. I decided to leave it on the side of the track for other people to see, as lots of other people take the track too.
    I liked how we walked a lot today- great training for dad and I for Mt Kinabalu. A great day with 2 mango sorbets!
