We had breakfast at the floating restaurant this morning, it was really basic but filled a hole.
Jumped on a taxi boat to cross the river into the national park, it was only a 2 minute boat ride but took longer because the current is so strong the boats have difficulty getting to the jetty.

You can really see where the floods pushed everything down stream, it's ruined here. The buildings are ruined on this side of the river as well, surely it didn't come up as high as the hut's roofs!
We got our park visas, it was more of an interrogation than you get at an actual border crossing! We were only going in a bloody rainforest!
It was all very well signposted, we took the trail through the jungle and up to the canopy trail. What a bloody work out that was!! Jee-wiz! We were absolutely dripping with sweat! The sun wasn't even on us, it was just so damn hot in the forest! We got to the canopy walk and a few park rangers sat there giggling to themselves, we couldn't stop the sweat from running down us! We both had patches of sweat on our tops. It was running down my shins - everywhere!

We had to pay another 5 ringt (£1) each to do the canopy walk.
It's the tallest canopy walk in the world apparently, at 45 metres above the ground through the trees. Fitting really considering it's in the oldest rainforest in the world (130 million years old this forest is!)

So everywhere we have read and the people we spoke to yesterday told us to get their really early because there will be loads of people at the canopy walk and it will be jam packed trying to get over it. Well we were the only ones in site! And when we signed the book at the registration desk it's seemed as though only 10 other people had been there this morning and it was 11am so pretty late in the world of trekking.
This trail was high! Bloody high. I don't mind heights but wow! Scott had wobbly knees and didnt look to enthusiastic at first, he was practically sprinting to the posts in stern the bridges! Haha.
We realised that the walkway was made of ladders laying down with ply wood resting on top of it... Very well made in other words. Haha!
After the dare devil walk we trekked back to the village, we were soaked right through of sweat!
We booked the rapid boat ride when We got back for 3.30pm, so we went back and showered put our swim kit on and let our clothes dry out a little. There was no point in putting new set of clothes on even though we stunk! Every tourist did - it was fine! Haha.

The boat was a long thin wooden one, me and Scott sat in the front not thinking anything of it... Until the tour guide got his paddle out in front of us. Why did he have his paddle when the boat man had a super fast engine? ...because he was using it to soak us! He just placed it in the water and within seconds we were soaked! The rapids were only small but they were pretty cool, the boat rocked hell of a lot and at times it made you think is it really supposed to be wobbling this much!?
We stopped off further up stream and the others went up to the aborigine tribe's village. We hadn't paid for that tour so we went for a swim in the river, the current was really strong! Couldn't lady breast stroke in this! Lady front crawl was having to be used! (Lady front crawl - keeping your was out the water, looking as though you have a crick in you neck and you can't move it) ha!
The Sungai Tembeling river wasn't the clearest! It was warm and seemed very clean considering! We got a free fish pedicure aswell, some of them had a big mouth though which wasn't the best!

I tell you, I'm getting brave! Degrading prawns with my bare hands, jumping in shark infested waters and now swimming in a jungle river where I can't see a gigantic fish swimming around me! Phwoar I'm like jane, he like Tarzan! (Well he already thinks he a Tarzan - bless!)

We got back just as the big black cloud set over us... even though it didn't rain! We showered and packed a little before dinner. There was a huge thunderstorm in the jungle, it was surrounding 360 degrees; it lights up the sky pink! Still no rain though. Kind of glad now though because tonight we are doing the night walk safari at 8.30. We met at the floating restaurant, unlucky for us out guide told us that there are over 100 people doing the night safari tonight so may find it difficult to spot some stuff.
We did have some noisy French girls in our group that needed the scowl in order to shut then up! Yes, I was all over that job!

We did managed to spot some big ass furry spiders which are poisonous. He managed to get a big black scorpion out of the tree, he was BIG! Scott got close to him!
We nearly trod on the tiniest snake we had ever seen; it's was black with white stripes, part of the family that is poisonous but this tiny fella didn't have any poison in him yet! Tarantulas, furry things that make your skin crawl! We couldn't see the big ones because there wee too many people about the place being noisy!
We spotted a few sambo deer by the watering hole and then on the way back we got to see a tammy eating the left over food that had been left out for him by the hotel. How did you know it was a male... Oh! You knew! Let's just say he was excited to see the food.

We got to see some things, probably a lot more if there wasn't so many people but it was nice to be in the jungle at night and listen to all the creatures chatting away!
