Day 163 Into the Jungle 17 July 2012

After a relaxing morning we took a 3 hour mini-van ride to our next destination deeper into the jungle of Borneo.
We arrived at our jungle-lodge and after settling in we went on a jungle boat cruise (like the one at Disneyland but better) along the Kinabatangan River.


We spotted, with the help of our guide/driver pointing everything out, a lot of monkeys (proboscis and macaques), hornbills, and a black and yellow cat snake (it has eyes like a cat).


After dinner at the jungle-lodge (all meals were provided during our stay) we joined a night walk where we had to wear rain boots to navigate the muddy jungle floor. Here we were extremely lucky to see a rare slow loris along with several sleeping colorful jungle birds and a lot of creepy crawlies.
