Borneo & Brunei

Borneo and Brunei
Happy Chinese New Year Everyone!

We have an extra two days off in Singapore this week, so I am heading to Borneo for the CNY! Even though I hate monkeys, I will be looking for the ugliest of them all- the endangered proboscis monkey! He has a nose that looks like a dong! Poor ugly monkey.

We'll be flying to Brunei and bus to the boarder to find our jungle trekking guide to take us into Mulu National Park - the Yosemite of SE Asia. We'll be staying in a longhouse on the river the 1st night while trekking the head-hunter trail, which yes, used to be the thoroughfare for cannibals.

From there, we will go to camp 5 to summit the Pinnacles route, complete with cables - just like Half-Dome. Look for pictures next week!
