Flying over a winding river in Borneo.
Saw wild orangutans the other day and they bit the leg of one of the other tourists! We’ll never make it as journalists - we did not get a photo. No injuries, though. We have also had to keep our drug trafficing to a minimum (just a joke in case any govt officials are reading this!) since it holds a mandatory death sentence in Malaysia.
Although this is a sanctuary, the orangutans are wild. They come right by you - maybe not the safest thing in the world.
Leaving one of the park accommodations. The monkeys were so aggressive here. You couldn't leave anything on your balcony or they'd come take it.
Giant Miri Cave. The long poles are to climb up to get the bird nests for bird nest soup!
Traditional Iban longhouse.
Skulls from their somewhat recent headhunting history!
In Mulu National Park, we ran into these guys on their way hunting wild boar!
Silver langur monkeys.
We went up the muddy river to arrange a homestay and visits to the Iban tribe.
We stayed with Kabau and his wife in their home in the jungle.
The hike up to the Pinnacles was super steep and difficult. I almost turned back a few times.
The limestone spires of the Pinnacles are breathtaking.
