Malaysia/Thailand

Once again we had a really busy day today. At 9:30 am we started our rainforest trekking tour together with our group and three guides. After a quick briefing we began on a nicely paved way but soon got deeper and deeper into the jungle. Following our fist hour of hiking we arrived at the canopy walk, which are multiple connected suspension bridges at some spots more than 10 meters up in the trees.
We continued our hilly hike through the humid and hot woods of Taman Negara forest. Sometimes we were climbing over fallen trees and sometimes grabing on to roots to go up or down. We were constantly sweating but that didn't bother us or our new friends who added the right ammount of humor to this experience. We then had a short lunch break before our journey continued. Finally after more than 4 hours of hiking we arrived at the beautiful Waterfall with crystal clear water. A quick refreshing dip later we started our way back when slight rain set in. In difference to the rain at home it was a lot warmer and way more comfortable. Since we were already soaking in sweat this was a nice refreshment. Our hike ended at a nice sandy river bench where we got picked up by a boat.
Our Boat driver purposely steered the boat into some rapids which was fun and got us even more wet. But whatever we have already been wet for most of our day 😅
Our last quick stop was at an aborigine Village where they showed us some of their hunting and fire making traditions.
We then returned tired but with lots of great memories to our resort and enjoyed dinner and a drink with our newly met friends.

Au hüt hemmer wieder en ereignisriche Tag gha. Am halb 10i hemmer es Treffe gha mit üsre Gruppe und üsne drü Tour Guides, wo mit üs es Trekking hend wölle mache. Nochem Briefing simmer denn au scho los glaufe. Zerst hets no Wägli gha, womer schö gmüetlich hend chöne laufe. Doch bald simmer denn würkli in Urwald ine. Noch eppe enere Stund simmer denn bi üsem erste Halt acho, em Canopy Walkway. Das isch e Art Baumwipfelpfad gsi, wo teils bis zu 10 Meter überm Bode isch. Denoh hemmer üs witer uf de Weg in Urwald ine gmacht. Moll is steil ufe gange, moll steil abe und debi is immer e saumässigi Hitz gsi. Doch da het üs und üsi neue Bekanntschafte nöd gstört sondern het s ganze sehr humorvoll gmacht. Noch de 12i hemmer denn üsen Proviant verspiese und sind denn au witer gange. Um di halbi 3, jo mer sind würkli uuuh lang glaufe, simmer denn bim zweite Ziel acho. En mega schöne und erfrischende Wasserfall. Nocheme Zittli simmer denn aber witer, well ganz am End vo üsere Trekking Tour simmer denn au noni gsi. Womer witerglaufe sind, hets denn au no agfange regne. Es het üs aber nöd gstört, well d Abchüelig richtig guet tue het. Am Ufer acho, hend d Böötli bereits uf üs gwartet. Üse Bootfahrer het sich en Gspass drus gmacht, dass er üses Boot id Stromschnelle ine brocht het und üs durch s Gwaggle voll nass gsprützt het. Was sölls, well dur s schwitze, bade und em Rege simer eh scho nass gsi. Üse letschti Halt hemmer denn no bi Uriwohner gmacht, de Orang Asli. Sie hend üs zeigt, wie ihne eri traditionell Art vom Jage gsi isch, wie sie es Füür gmacht hend und denn hemmer s Dörfli no dörfe go aluege. Müed aber glücklich über de Tag, hemmer denn de Obig no zemme usklinge loh.Read more
