dothoidiary: kuching: day 2

KUCHING: DAY 2. Bako National Park. Picture the most unsporty person ever treking 6km through the jungle to the very tip top of the island Bako is located on. Already just getting onto the island was an adventure. Picture a little itty bitty boat, looks like it was glued together with UHU, and the lowest tide you can imagine, and the most dodgy looking water ever, and my freshly pedicured feet and then "I'm sorry, the tide is too low, I can't take you all the way to the shore, but why don't you just get out here in the middle of the sea and walk to the island through this wonderfully brown water? Is that something you'd be interested in?". Delish. I was not amused.... The view at the top was such a treat though, the trek was also super interesting, because one minute you were walking on white sand, the next on slimey leaves, then on the most interesting rock formations... And we saw endangered proboscis monkeys (ugliest creatures to walk the planet), so it was all definitely worth it in the end. The day was ended with a local food court across the river (this again involved a UHU-glued-together boat :)).
