a trip to sarawak - part 7

early next morning we woke up early, each with a 3-5kg back-pack plus 2-5kg hand luggage. With this, we were ready to jungle trek the 8km forest trail. (-_-')

We went to the jetty, hop onto a longboat, together with 2 new frens, In and Bor, we headed towards Clear water Cave and Wind cave. These 2 caves contain an adventurous part within, which could be quite dangerous and only experienced cave explorers are allowed in. The world widest cave chamber, Sarawak Chamber is located within the Clear Water Cave. Getting into these 2 caves require some amount of stamina - i didn't count the number of staircase, but it's good enuf to get you panting. hehe..

we also visited Penan village, where the aborigines sell the native/handcrafts..

then we continued a 30min boat ride.. it was a relaxing, beautiful one.. and how i loOoOoOoved the rainforest breeze... (closing eyes, smiling widely). There were some parts of the river where it was too shallow for the boat to pass, and our guide n boat captain had to jump into the river and push the boat. HAha... thank God, the passengers don't have to do so. We've heard before if the water level is real low, all passengers have to get down and push the boat.. hehe..

Our boat landed in a small sandy area called Kuala Litut, and we waded in the stream for abt 2 min... and we're at the very beginning of our 8km walk!
