Sorry for too much motion with the camera. It’s mostly for the sound of the birds. Monkeys!!! Long tailed macaques to be more precise. 1…2…3-35! We literally watched the ones on the left of the trail for at least five minutes before noticing all the many up the tree on the right. They are amazingly agile. There is always a male watching and standing guard while everyone else is playing and eating. Monster!Ok, actually a cocoa tussock moth’s caterpillar phase. I love the way it moves. Not the easiest part of the trail that day…we were also a little concerned it might storm and make the mud all slippery. We made it ok though And we stayed to watch the clouds move in the valleys Lovely view from the elevated blind where you can sit and watch and listen for the wildlife. We saw several birds but mid day that is all. Downward dog stretch. They are very fun to watch, especially when they are close enough to see their relationship to humans.Let your friends know you care. More monkeys. They are all fine in the trees, not long after this we left because they were getting a bit too close. Food is so good here. I love this plastic plate too. Our last full day we took a guided boat ride up the smaller river. Only 4-6 people per boat because it is shallow and the guy at the front needs to use the pole to help you over the shallow partsWe met a beautiful 500 year old tualang tree. Despite the posing the guide had us do, it was such a moment to share with a wise old grandmother. We fed the fish at the sanctuary Someone had spilled something sweet in the sand before we landed and the butterflies were all so taken with it they didn’t mind us watching. One was taken with Zarah’s colorful dress. And the swimming hole just below these rapids. It was fun to let the current take you from the spot bottom right out into the pool. The trees along the river are just beautiful. And the vines hanging over the water. A little more about cicadas. They are just a constant in the jungle. And at the guests house when you go to get water in the evening…I like the green ones more than the black ones. And I don’t like any flying around the light at night !And just like that, time to go. Boat ride to Jerantut had water buffalo to see. On to Kuala Lumpur next.
