kuching: day 3, part I

KUCHING: DAY 3. Orang utans!!! Woke up at the crack of dawn to head to the Semmengoh Rehabilitation Center. Upon arrival we were told that yesterday a feeder was attacked, great, best greeting ever, good morning to you too. After seeing orang utans, we headed to a crocodile farm. Photos will be posted in a separate post. This one is dedicated fully to my faaaaavorite monkey species! :)

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 :)).

kuching: day 1

 

KUCHING: DAY 1. Finaaaally, I can post some new pictures, am currently working from a borrowed laptop (thank you Sabrina :)). The first day in Kuching was spent wandering around town. We arrived at our hostel, Lodge 121 (best hostel ever), at around 5pm, and since budget airline means no food, we were all pretty starving. This called for major seafood fattie-fest for super little cash, a dream come true. :)

I was travelling with buddy-buddy Sabrina and Maurice, a friend from Rotterdam, who I actually had never even talked to before coming to Singapore. :) as you can see, we had a really great time, the whole trip was like a constant laughing-streak. Next trio adventure: Kuala Lumpur in November. :)

DEAR VAIO. Vaio, we could have been so great together, but instead you go and disappoint me. Laptop is not fixable, limited posts until replacement can be purchased.

P.S. Kuching was amazing! Photos will be uploaded as soon as possible. Some can be found on Sabrina's blog.
