Returning to the cottage after breakfast to pack up and move into the 'Romantic Tree house' as we'd decided to stay another night as our cottage was pre-booked, a huge brown rat was sitting on our balcony! Tobes chased it and it ran all the way up the walls and into the cottage and then into the bathroom and outside again. Looking outside to see where it had gone, it returned back in the cottage! We shooed it off again and continued packing, I grabbed my bag from the shelf and screamed…there were two rat babies nuzzled up in my shorts!! Hence why Mummy rat kept coming back! I managed to catch them and got upset because Tobes said they were pests and wanted to chuck them in the river- but it was ok in the end because both swam to safety!

We walked to the minimart for ice cream and headed for the park this time we were wearing socks pulled up as far as they would go and trainers!! On the way a dog followed us, Tobes said it was because I'd been nice to him and given him a biscuit. We were a bit worried as dogs aren't allowed into the park and he followed us all the way in. eventually he disappeared off his another couple of walkers, but strangely we didn't see him walk back past us- hope he's not being teased by macaques.

The walk to the Sip et Chan waterfall was supposed to take 2 hours but 3 hours later we were still no where near and all we'd seen was elephant poo (but no wild elephants) and another spiky headed lizard. Tobes saw a snake whilst sitting on a rope bridge- whilst I'd climbed about 1000 steps to get to the upper canopy but still saw nothing. I think the best time to spot stuff is ridiculously early and ridiculously late (mossie time!!).

Back at Our Jungle House we were shown to 'Romantic Tree House' an amazing cabin with a large terrace all on stilts in the trees overlooking the river! We jumped in the freezing cold river to cool down and enjoyed playing in the rapids. On the first day we'd seen people rubber tubing down the river, but it was a lot faster now after all the rain.

That night whilst having a shower I could watch the macaques jumping from tree to tree only feet away from me- I loved it! In the restaurant we both saw the largest gecko even , at least a foot long. You can tell a really big gecko because their call actually sounds like gek-co (Tobes told me that J). The owner told us she'd once seen 3 huge geckos like that one in the restaurant teaching their young to hunt and catch flies!
