Hari 14
Jungle Day 2, Morning
15 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Away on another boat ride by 6am which gave us a lovely sunrise. Thankfully the rain had stopped just before and gave way to slightly cooler temperatures. We saw a gold crested eagle, more monkeys and hornbills before seeeing the second of the two animals we really wanted to see- an orangutan in the wild! And what a view we had, he was right in front of us, up a tree, at the waters edge. After watching him eat his breakfast of leaves he climbed down before appearing again up a fruit tree this time but alot more hidden. We realise we were very lucky to have seen him so clearly. After breakfast we went on a walk through the jungle which we cut short as we heard an elephant nearby. This was after seeing a fully grown dear about the size of a cat.Baca selengkapnya

Day 2 Evening / Day 3 Morning
16 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Another trip on a boat and with more of the same birds and animals, including the unusual proboscis monkeys again. Saw a large (1 meter long) monitor lizard resting on a tree, looking very relaxed. Once again the evening sky was lit by lightening and more baby crocs were spotted- all we could think about was 'where's the mother?'. It was a quiet start to our evening walk but thankfully the wildlife didn't disappoint in the end with a show of sleeping birds, frogs, a turtle and insects. We managed to get a very quick glimpse of a mother and baby orangutan during our morning boat ride before leaving the jungle. A bit of rest in a hammock is needed...Baca selengkapnya

Lyndsay McDonnell What a fantastic experience you two are having seeing all the different animals birds and insects. Don't know that we would enjoy walking through the mud or the thought of deadly insects but am sure you are both loving it!!! Take care, have fun. Lots of love xxxx

Hari 16
Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre
17 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
With some 40 sq km of forest, the centre has no fence boundaries to keep the orangutans in so they are free to roam where they want. Very lucky to see so many of these amazing animals that share so many human characteristics. The feeding platform and open nursery gave close up views but not as close up as the ones who we shared the walkways with! A very amusing highlight was following one of them along the walkway and when it reached a short gate that read 'no entry', it ever so gently lifted the bolt latch and slid the bolt along before slowly opening the gate to walk through and then gently letting go of the latch. One of them had taken a liking to the ornamental bamboo plants at the front entrance. We also saw what we think was a rat snake, that was about 2 meters long, sliding along the ground until it hid under the board walk we were stood on.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 17
Borneo Sun Bear Conservation Centre
18 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Today we spent the day admiring these lovable sun bears, named so because of their golden collar on their chest that looks like the rising sun when seen from upside down. They are the smallest of the bear species growing up to 140cm tall when standing up. Watching them climb is admirable although they look incredibly uncomfortable when sleeping high up in the trees wedged between branches.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 18
Rainforest Discovery Centre
19 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Forest walks and elevated canopy walkways at the RDC. 40m high towers gave an excellent view over the surrounding forest, with some wildlife highlights. One of the more remote towers let us watch two wild Orangutan build a nest to have an afternoon nap. Also saw a flying lizard, Giant Squirrel and Asian Hornbill. Amazing plants in the Botanical garden, some of which look truly alien. A few light rain showers with really high humidity made it tough going..... Relaxed in hammocks to get over it!Baca selengkapnya

Orangutan and Sun Bear's Again

We enjoyed the experiences so much that we decided to spend another two days going to see them again. Felt sorry for poor orangutan who has no hair! Will be sorry to leave this place tomorrow as it's been a lovely place to stay and an exciting place to explore.Baca selengkapnya

Kinabalu National Park
23 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Glad we had a view of Mount Kinabalu when we passed through here last week as it's been completely covered by cloud recently. Went for a walk through the hills and jungle at the base of the mountain. The clouds turned into heavy rain and the narrow trails into rivers! Had an all too close encounter with a leech.Baca selengkapnya

Merry Christmas! (And bonus quiz...)
23 Desember 2016, Malaysia ⋅ 🌙 11 °C
Merry Christmas to all. We hope you are having a wonderful festive period and have eaten, drunk and slumped in front of the telly far more than you should have done! Thinking of everyone we know back home and around the world.
A big thank you to everyone who has followed our progress so far and left comments. This doesn't let us respond directly to posts, but rest assured we love reading all the messages left.
In the spirit of Christmas, there is a bonus 'Where's Wally' style quiz to keep you entertained after the Queens speech'. Just spot where and what wildlife is hiding in each photo. There's an Orangutan, Giant Squirrel, Water Spider, Sun Bear and a rarely seen Louisa Fish surfacing. It's all for fun and no prizes on offer....!Baca selengkapnya
