12 AprilOur clothes was not even a little bit drier…We gathered the clothes which needed to be washed when we returned to our guesthouse at Taman Negara. The bags were packed and everyone headed down for a breakfast of tee, toast and cookies. We grabbed the bags and continued with the last hour's trek to where our longboat was waiting to take us back. Along the way the flimsy boat raced through the rapids with no signs of distress, quite unexpected when you ta...

8 AprilAfter a long nights rest and oversleeping our breakfast (which was toast and coffee as well) we headed to the nearest stall for a muffin and pie. So far we've sticked to local foods as they are much cheaper than western food and after the muffin and pie we decided local food is definitely the way to go!
