A market in Kuching, just after
rain
Gulung Mulu Nation Park, the cave
contained large numbers of bats which would have swarmed out at dusk if it
hadn't been raining
A market where the locals sell
souvenirs
The flat boats were the best way
to get around the jungle
A swimming hole off the river,
the color is the bottom, not the water
On the way up Mt Kinabalu, the
small shelters are placed every kilometer
At the 3000m level there is a
lodge. You stay there and get up at 2am to climb the mountain for the dawn.
The dawn was greeted with rain
and minimal visibility, it started to clear as we went down
The summit of Mr Kinabalu(4093m)
about half an hour after we'd been there. Mt Kinabalu is apparently the worlds
youngest granite extrusion
On the way down
Stilt houses at Sandakan
Fishing platforms on the way to
Turtle island, the sea was full of them
A turtle plantation on Turtle
Island
Leaving turtle island. There were
armed soldiers on the island to reduce the chances of impromptu trips to
the Philippines
A feeding platform for Orang Utans
in the jungle at Sepilok Orang Utan Rehabilitation Centre. The one handed
monkey in the foreground kept offering to bite a chunk out of me
Not all Orang Utans were happy
with the jungle feeding, this one (Natsia) decided to visit the cafeteria
A hard life being an Orang Utan
With hind sight heading off to
the island under the storm cloud in a semi-open boat wasn't a good idea.
