Today, Sunday August 21, we hiked through Bako national forest. This is a jungle along the South China Sea. We saw several Proboscis Monkeys in the wild. We also saw a Pit Viper snake curled up under a log (very poisonous). The guide told us they sit in the same spot for weeks after eating and then they will move. Glad it didn’t like the looks of us or feel very energetic today. The guide said the trip was an easy, flat walk. Boy did he lie. But how can we trust a guide who grew up in a longhouse eating Cicadas that he caught and his mother cooked in the Wok. He told us he gets tired walking in the city but never in the jungle. Wow! No rain today but we got soaked in the middle of the lake in Batang-Ai just after we walked around the Tilapia fish hatchery floating in the lake. The jungles in Batang-Ai and Bako were both just amazing. This is such an interesting country. We are lucky, the wildfires burning across the mountains in Indonesia have not really been a smoke problem. The paper said they agreed to let Singapore seed the clouds to try and slow the fires in Indonesia.
