Even hotter....

We have done a day of hiking in the jungle... and it was so hot it was almost unbarable. We were sweating like never before, and have not yet stopped(although shower in cold water and some cooling time by the fan). We are in Teman Negara, a National park in the middle of Malaysia. It is a very intresting environment... and as said... HOT!!
Yesterday when we arrived we got stucked in one of the floating restaurants(the village is by a river) by the heavy rain that started. I have never seen so much rain in my entire life... Luckily we got a ride back to our hostel by the nice travel agency lady... The rain with lightnings and heavy thunder kept on for all night... which was a petty because they closed the "Canopy walkway" in the park today... the one we really looked forward to. But we got so see it from a distance, it was actually a rope-bridge walkway in the tree canopies, from tree to tree... It looked really cool.. but what can we do. At least the rain stopped in the morning and we could do the hike to the top.


Before we came to Teman Negara we spent two days in Cameron Highlands which was great. The climate was more "normal" with a cooler attitude. In the morning until 15.00 it was warm, but in the afternoon it always rained... intresting. We got to visit a tea plantage, strawberry farm, honey farm and we managed to do a hike in almost no rain in the afternoon. But hey... is it rainforrest or not??

Us at the tea plantage... a bit dark... but at least we are both in the picture!

We stayed at a very nice place called Fathers guesthouse, very clean and very nice staff. Good facilities like internet, good food and DVD room(so nice to just get into the couch for a DVD....).

Tomorrow we are heading for the Perhentian Islands and we are looking forward to have some lazy days on the beach with snorkling and reading books.

We can not believe that we only have three weeks left on this trip... what happened to time?? Although I must admit I am looking forward to coming home. Must say I miss some basic things back home like, mum, Lin, Ems and the rest of my family, the exercising, my own bathroom, our bed, some other clothes(oh man... these clothes are worn out...), potatoes(not fried in any way.. just boiled), news(TV or paper...), a movie in the couch, sweets...
But hey.. three weeks is still a long time and we plan on spending them well in Malaysia and Thailand!!
Sorry... did not bring my camera here(didn't think we would find internet here in the middle of the jungle) .. but pics on Jacob with the snake will come... promise!
