2004-07-27, Kuching, Malaysia

Our driver arrived at 8.30am to take us to an Orang-Utan rehabilitation centre, a Bidayuh Longhouse and a crocodile farm. I must say this tour was pretty crap and we paid RM135 each. I wouldn't recommend it. Although our guide was pretty nice, she spoke hardly any English. Whateva we asked a question she would smile, nod her head and say "yah" hehehe i don't think she understood a word we said.

We stayed 10mins at the Orang-Utan Rehab Centre, two little Orang-Utan was maybe 50metres away on the tree. They were little dots and we couldn't really capture it from our camera. We were pretty excited heading towards the longhouse as the tour guide the day before talked it up heaps. But when we got there, it was a major dump! The local people don't even live in it anymore. They locked up most of the rooms and all u could do was walk around the place and get bitten by mossies. Total anti-climax! The crocodile farm was even worse!!! It had mossies galore, i got 5 massive itchy bites to show for it. Im scratching one right now!!

By the time we got back to the hotel we were totally knackered and had a nap b4 dinner. Went back to the same seafood place, couldn't be bothered walking far.
