We have found the site of the Jungle Book. A place that has snakes, tigers, bears, and jaguars. Unfortunately we didn't run into any of these animals but we did see some monkeys, deer, and crazy lizards. Did I mention the bugs? There are HUGE cicadas that make terrible screaming noises and fly at your face and body without seeming to notice where they are going. At one point we thought there was an animal outside our room but it was just a HUGE bug the size of your hand. I am not even exaggerating! We came to the jungle in hopes to do the Canopy walk. We really didn't think it would be very difficult a task but man were we wrong! The first attempt we walked all the way there (only about 2 km into the jungle, with no path) only to get there right when it closed! Our second attempt we thought we had it. We woke up early, had a nice big breakfast and were just about to go when we found out it closed in 20 minutes! So we RAN as fast as we could through the jungle to try and get there before it closed. According to our watch we were there 10 minutes before it closed...but our watch was not set to proper Malay time (aka they close when they feel like it). So now on our last and final attempt there is nothing stopping us! We marched through that jungle for the third time (now experts on the very muddy and unpaved path) passing every group of tourists we could! AND WE MADE IT! Just in time too. Once we completed the most amazing Canopy Walk the line up was over an hour! PHEW! Emily has yet to overcome her immense fear of heights but she pulled through with the canopy walk with ease! (well...sort of) haha Now we are off to Kuala Lumpur! Looking forward to doing some much needed laundry and hopefully some NON-fried, home cooked food!
On the boat ride into the oldest rainforest in the world!
We thought these were funny
