Mullu National Park
July 26, 2025 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 32 °C
Mulu National Park is a national park in Mir Division, Sarawak, Malaysia . It is a UNESCO World Heritage Sit.found the world’s largest limestone cave system, dominated by the towering Gunung Mulu. The area is so isolated that it is accessible only by light aircraft and, once in the park, exploration is on foot or by boat.This spectacular rainforest took 60 million years to create. It is one of the most important natural sites in South East Asia and it also has some of the most spectacular caves.
We stayed in Mulu Village at a Home stay with Brenda and James who were also our Tourguide. Straight after our arrival we went with Brenda to visit the Deer Cave who is not only spectacular to look at especially the Garden of Eden a hidden valley and waterfall inside Deer Cave. The Deer Cave is also famous for the "Lincoln Face " siluate and the 12 different species of bats living in . Most nights the bats coming out to eat and on the bats observatory area we were able to watch this. It was Unforgettable.Read more

After a very hot night ( missing the air-condition ) and everyone being a bit poorly with cough and sore throat we still needed to get up early and ready for our next adventure.

Of course we always only saw a glimpse of the caves as some of them are km long . Lunch was served at the most spectacular Natural water pool we were in paradise 😉.

Day 13 Mullu National Park
July 28, 2025 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
A very early start for Clive, Hannah and Hans who started at 7.00 am the Mulu Canopy Skywalk. With 480 metres is the Mulu Skywalk is one of the longest canopy walks available in Borneo. Led by a park guide all 3 head high into the canopy and walk amongst the ferns and vines above the forest floor. 10-30 metres there had the opportunity to get closer to wildlife, spot some unique species of birds, wild monkeys, insect and more all high up in the treetops. After breakfast I started walking to meet the other at a waterfall . I had a map and there were signs but then there was nothing and I actually was worried I was wrong and felt a bit nervous being alone in the jungle. But it all went well and Clive actually started walking towards me as the kids where worried. We all enjoyed our food even more after all that walking.Read more

Day 14 Travelling from Muku to Kuching
July 29, 2025 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Our last days in Mulu , I would say Mulu was my highlight even though it was so hot it is also very special and so unique. James told us lots about the olden days and that his great great grandfather was chief from the local tribe who were headhunters. It was such an interesting history and not that long ago many traditions are still being celebrated. Our time in Mulu was so beautiful basic and so peaceful.The people here are so friendly, helpful and kind. We made memories who we can treasure forever. We did go early to the airport as we found out the airport had an air-conditioning 😉 this was so lucky as we had enough time for an emergency rescue, as "someone" forgot there camera at our Homestay . Our next destination is " Kuchin".Read more

After a good night sleep with ( air-conditioning ) we started the morning early next stop Bako National Park which is the oldest and smallest national park in Sarawak, Malaysia, established in 1957 and located near Kuching. It is a popular destination for wildlife viewing, known for its diverse ecosystems, including rainforests and coastlines, and is home to species like the proboscis monkey, silvered langur, and bearded pig. After ca 20-30 min we reach the park from Kuching via boat. Together with another family from Italy we followed our Tourguide. It was so beautiful but also so so hot 🔥🥵. We saw lots of wildlife which was very exciting as some were so close to us. Hannah got some thorns in her leg from a very prickly palm tree which was quite painful for her. After refreshing in the pool we visited the Food Festival. We were so lucky that it was on whilst we were visiting Kuching and it was absolutely wonderful and delicious.Read more

Day 17 Wildlife park and longhouse
August 1, 2025 in Malaysia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Once again early start to travel with our tour guide to the Semenggoh Wildlife Centre and the long house. The center is a orangutan sanctuary and nature reserve. We were lucky and managed to get up close to semi-wild orangutan. Semenggoh was set up in 1975 to care for wild animals that had been previously kept as illegal pets, orphaned or found injured in the rainforest. Over the years a number of orangutan have been successfully rehabilitated and released into the 653 hectare forest reserve.

Next we travelled to visit the Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse.
Annah Rais is located about 60 km from Kuching City. Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse is the oldest Bidayuh longhouse and the only traditional Bidayuh longhouse left in Sarawak.They are more than 80 doors (families) that lives in the longhouse which stood 10 feet above the ground. The longhouse was is built from Ironwood (belian) and mature bamboo (apek). Some parts of the longhouse is still original whereby it is attached without nails. They are approximately 1,500 people living in the longhouse and they are all related to each other. Not until the middle 19th century, our ancestors were “Head Hunters”. As a remembrance we still have the trophies which are kept at the Head House called “Panggah” until today ☠️💀 we saw it 😮. We also had the most delicious home cooked food and very fresh picked 🍍 pineapple. Traveling back and to refresh in the pool.Read more

Day 18 Boat trip to Satang Island
August 2, 2025 in Malaysia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C
Once again early start and sadly the weather was not on our side. Grey , cloudy and rain just like home 😉 the only difference it is still so hot. Today we where excited we where hopeful to see delphines and turtles on our boat and island tour. We Cruised along the Santubong & Salak River and mangrove forests of Kuching Wetlands National Park on the way to the Satang Island. We knew there would be a chance to spot the elusive and rare Irrawaddy dolphin as we cruised to Satang Island and we were very lucky. It was perfect to watch this beautiful animals who work together with the local fishermans.

Satang island is part of the Talang-Satang National Park and a turtle nesting ground. We were looking forward to relax on the white sandy beach but sadly the weather got very bad and we had to find shelter. The most exciting thing of course was the baby turtles. The Turtle Hatchery on Satang Island provides an introduction to the conservation work being done to help these highly endangered sea creatures.
After learning about the conservation and seeing the baby turtles we did managed to go
Snorkel over the coral and marine life found in the shallow waters surrounding the island sadly the view was not very good as the weather was not the best. But it did gave us amazing clouds for our photos ☁️.Read more

Home sweet home, we are back
August 5, 2025 in England ⋅ 🌙 12 °C
Pack Your Bags, Family!

Pack your bags, family!
Let’s all now go somewhere new.
To a place we’ve never been,
Where the skies are always blue.
Pack your bags, family!
This drudgery infernal,
Let’s just leave it all behind
For adventure eternal.
Pack your bags, family!
We’ve got but one life to live.
So to waste it on just work
Is a sin not to forgive.
Pack your bags, family!
As the time to act is now.
We can’t postpone our dreams, for
What will tomorrow allow?

Ich habe euch alle so lieb. Danke für diese Zeit ❣️Read more
