Kawa Kawa River Trip

After the night before’s lack of sleep we had a lie in and then the buffet breakfast. We then had a walk along the front and came to a shopping mall which we walked around for a while. It’s odd knowing we’re in Borneo and seeing familiar shops.

Back in the room we got ready for our afternoon/evening trip. We went to meet the driver at1pm and he didn’t arrive until nearly 2.30pm. This meant a super fast drive to get us to the Kawa Kawa dock for 4pm. Once there we had some pastries and fresh young coconut milk for afternoon tea.

We then got on a boat to see proboscis monkeys 🙈. They, along with just about everything else, were hiding.

Once off the boat we were taken to the sunset beach to watch the nonexistent sunset before returning to the dock for dinner. Fortunately they managed to do us a vegetarian meal and more coconut water.

We then got back on the boat for the firefly tour and this bit was worthwhile. The fireflies were plentiful and sparkling in the dark.

After 30 minutes we got off the boat and back in the car for the speedy drive home.Read more
