Today I went for more jungle adventures! I got up super early - the Canadians left at about 6am and I was awake so I decided to get up and get going very slowly before heading to the river front and getting a water taxi round to a tiny town called Bangar. The journey was pretty cool - down a river surrounded by jungle, out into the bay surrounded by jungle on 3 sides with open sea on the horizon then off down another river to get to Bangar. I'm impressed how the guys operating the boats know which river to go down - they all looked the same to me. Arrived in Bangar to find any sort of information about the surrounding parks unavailable so when a bunch of people stepped off the next boat with a tour guide I got him to point me in the right direction. He organised a private taxi for me - some old boy in his battered car - that would take me out to the park, wait for me to do the walk and then take me back to Bangar for $30.

The path through the park wound its way up through the jungle to eventually come out at a rocky outcrop where there are awesome views over miles of jungle and the sea in the distance. Something like 70% of this country is rainforest I think so the views were pretty unspoilt. It was a killer walk but totally worth it. There were a bunch of wooden stairs on the way up and after working my way up a bunch to then come round a corner and find another endless set of stairs I nearly considered turning back but I'm glad I persevered. Once the stairs ended it was a pretty easy scramble along to the viewpoint but the heat and humidity were an absolute killer. If you ever want to lose your own body weight in sweat, the rainforest in Borneo is the place to do it!

Back in Bangar it appeared that there was very little to do so I made my way back to BSB. I went swimming as the hostel has a swimming pool attached and it's only $1 and it seemed like a good way to cool down!

Tomorrow I'm heading to KL but my flight isn't until the evening so I'm thinking about getting a bus out to a shopping mall outside of the city centre as I've exhausted all my options here aside from the museums that sound kinda lame. I doubt the shops will keep me entertained all day so I might head back out to the waterfall place again as that's not too taxing as walk. I think I'm also gonna get another pineapple from the market and get a decent Thai curry from the Thai place we found yesterday.
