We've had no internet to tell you about our amazing adventures as we're in the middle of the Malaysian Jungle...... so we'll bash out a quick weeks summary for you now :).
Our first day in Kuala Lumpur we took a 50p, half hour bus ride to the Batu Caves. The bus was insanely hard to find as there are hundreds of them and they don't seem to care about bus times. The caves were pretty amazing, Loads of monkeys were lounging about eating coconuts and stealing food from people. I think we're famous in China cus Chinese people kept wanting a picture with us.
The day after all the monkey fun we took a 3 hour bus to Jerentut. There was nothing going on there.... They hadn't seen a white person in years, apart from the Albino Chinese guy working in the shop. He loved it.
We took a local 'jungle bus' to Kuala Tahan which is in the middle of the Taman Negara jungle. It's pretty amazing.. so chilled out. We've been louning about in the pool after our massive treks though the jungle. We've been having our food on these floating restaurants they have on the river. The food is pretty tasty, apart from the menus the same everywhere..... rice or noodles..or rice...or noodles.
We found this canopy walkway thing in the jungle. Basically a plank of wood 200 feet off the ground, held up by ropes. Jenny was pretty scared.... it didnt help that Jon was jumping up and down and swinging from side to side....
We've been doing a bit of David Attenborough in the jungle. So far the list is lizards, squirrel things, thousands of ants carry a huge beetle, butterflys the size of birds.
Jenny tamed this wild elephant and was riding it through the jungle when this tiger attacked them... luckily Jon was around and had been catching up on a bit of Ray Mears the night before so knew how to fend it off. After that and a few poisonous snake bites, Jenny and Jon are sitting safely back in the village. The end.
Today were off to do a bit cave exploration in the Telinga Cave... aparrently theres a few fruit bats hanging around there.
