Monkey mayhem

I was hoping for a sleep in after me and Dad's leg killing adventures, but I had no luck. We had to catch our flight to Sandakan at 9am- but I wouldn't complain about the flight because it was only 40mins long!
When we arrived at Sandakan we were looking to get a hire car, but they were way too expensive. Instead we decided to go with a taxi. We drove to Sepilok but we couldn't check in until 3pm so I was out of luck getting a sleep there. We walked to the Rainforest Discovery Centre and walked around the tracks on a bit of a hike. We saw some awesome trees that were like 200m tall! We also saw a couple of animals- one of them was a massive snake in the water. We spotted it when we crossed the suspension bridge across the water. The snake was brown at the top and red at the bottom. I reckon it was 8 foot. We also saw weird little millipedes when we were walking and a water monitor. Then we came across some monkeys... at first we thought they would be chill and dad tried to take a photo. He didn't get too far as the mokey tried to attack us. Luckily I was there and scared it away by yelling at it and hitting my stick on the ground.
After the walk it was only 1pm so we still had 2 hours until we could check in. To pass some time we walked to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. It was super cool and we got there for feeding time. The first feeding spot was at the nursery but we were inside a glass room. Then we walked to the actual feeding platform which was outdoors and about 8 metres from us. When the man came with the food he had 2 Orangutans following him, and one was the big male- Marlin. The Orangutans are my favourite type of monkey. They were fed fruit and when the man put the food down they all came to the platform, except for the mother and baby. The bloody pig tail macaques kept scaring her away. She got food eventually, but before that one tried chasing her and she shook the rope and it fell.
I loved the Orangutans.Les mer
