Despatches from the jungle

Yesterday , we had our first full day in the Malaysian Jungle. This is the oldest protected rainforest area apparently. Last night we had a night walk and learned about spotting spiders by looking for the glow of their eyes with a torch. We also saw three green non poisonous snakes. Also a scorpion. It was a fascinating walk. Full of the noise of the jungle which was almost deafening at times. Some birds sound like jackhammers!! Today we did a canopy walk which is a walk on swing bridges 45 metres above the jungle floor. We feel quite privileged to be able to do that as a lot is quite new. A little bit scary but worth it for the views. In the afternoon we had a wonderful boat ride along the river, which was very beautiful. We were very lucky to see a kingfisher, eagle, some wild boar and on the way back some monkeys feeding on fruit in the trees. All pretty amazing. More when I get the wifi back properly. xx
