Next Day |
| We're on a quest to find the Borneo of our imagination, filled with wild animals, impenetrable jungle, untouched beaches. Sitting around Kuching under the shadow of a Hyatt hotel can't be the answer, so we take a public bus which leads to a dock where we find a speedboat heading downriver, into a bay, towards the interior of Bako National Park. |

|
No roads find their way here. A boat drops us on a
deserted tidal flat. We walk inland to a campground situated in the
middle of a rainforest. Borneo at last!

The welcoming crew - a proboscis monkey. Females of
this species love a big nose, so this must be one attractive guy.
|
 |
|
Not exactly 'untouched' jungle. We don't think Raffles
used a boardwalk in his exploration.

|
Mosquitos around here view you as a walking buffet
- stay in your tent at night.
