Danum valley day 1

Up early to the noise of the jungle and we set off walking at 8am. Our walk was to the coffin cliffs and view point. It was hot, wet, muddy and there were leeches. We walked for abo2 hours up the hill to the coffin cliffs and saw the bones of the tribal ancestors. At the view point we could see out across the forest. Back at the lodge we cleaned our shoes and had a shower before lunch. We then had a little time to watch the world go by before our afternoon trek.

We set off through the jungle again, this walk was muddier, wetter and leechier than this morning! We walked for about 3 hours but after 2 there was a huge storm and it rained on us. Once back at the lodge we sort of got dry and then got ready for our night walk.

It had just stopped raining so it was damp but ok. We saw a few different things before heading back for dinner and bed.
