8am coach left the lovely hot spring lodge for a 5 hour road trip to our next location the jungle lodge. Not a great journey as the roads although tarmac have a large number of deep pot holes in them so you can't travel very quickly. Got to our location around 1pm and after a lunch and settling into our rooms we set off on the fantastic river safari. There are many types of monkeys to spot some more easy than others. Very unusual to see the Orangutan but we saw one and it was magnificent. We cruised along the river stopping every time we saw tree movement to try to spot the monkeys. It was a truly magnificent experience made even more magical by the sunset and dusk light which was amazing. Below a list of what we spotted:
Orangutan
Long Tailed Makat
Probiscus Monkey
Purple Heron
Hornbill
Snake Bird
Mangrove Snake
Wrinkled Hornbill
Water Monitor Lizard
Morph Silver Langur
Back for a quick rest and then off again for a night walk with wellies and leach socks on! The night walk was not such a great experience, the girls hated it because of all the creepy crawlers and to be honest we did not see much apart from a few birds and a small mammal. An experience but not something we will rush to do again. Up early in the morning for a sunrise river safari, now that should be fun.
