Once we stepped into the forest floor, it was jungle-trekking time. The weather was nice - sun not hot, clouds hovering us. The forest floor was wet and slippery, though coz it was rainy season. It rained almost everyday. Unpredictable Mulu rain - it comes, and goes.. and it comes again.. and goes again.. and... u know..
So we trekked for about 45 minutes, donated blood to the leeches.. and finally, we reached our destination - The beautiful Garden of Eden! There were a few waterfalls there, all sweetly falling from the same source. The highest waterfall was about 30ft high, and it crashes into a deep pool, i think at least 16ft deep. On reaching Garden of Eden, one after another, the guides removed their shirts, climbed up a "diving spot" which is abt 20ft above the pool level, and started jumping/diving into the pool from there, performing all kinds of stances.
The water was crystal clear and cool and clean, i assume tasty too.. and i wanted so much to swim in the pool as well. Sadly, as there was no place to change clothes there, and I didn't want to wet myself, I didn't get to swim... hmmm... Then i noticed Baqly didn't join the others swimming! haa... he can't swim? impossible. I think he's shy... hehehe...
While enjoying our lunch and snapping pictures there, suddenly I heard KY screaming my name. I turned around, and saw many guides gathering around Sara, a foreigner. Rocks there were super-slippery, and Sara, unfortunately fell down, broke her front tooth and cut her lower lip! ouch! After that we quickly packed our stuffs, and started our journey home - using the same path. Sara was rushed to Miri hospital.
