Our final few days in Borneo was spent in and around Kuching before returning to Singapore. Kuching is the capital of Sarawak, and it was a lovely little city to chill out in and wonder around, a perfect place to spend a few days.
Whilst we were here we went River Kayaking down the upper stretch of the Sungai Sarawak. This took 3-4 hours as we kayaked through some amazing jungles & breathtaking scenery. It was mostly a gentle kayak with a few rapids thrown in for good measure.
We then went and visited the Annah Raus longhouse. It was quite a modern village built around the longhouse and as our guide explained, a time will soon come when people no longer have a need for longhouse, they will become more for ceremonial purposes more than anything else.
We also went to the Semengoh wildlife rehabilitation centre where we saw some more Orang Utans. I know, more Orang Utans, but seeing as we were so close it would have been a shame not to go! And we were not disappointed, we were there for the 9am feeding session and as it September, (not much fruit in season) we
were treated to many Orang Utans making there way to the feeding platform in search of Bananas, Coconuts and many other tropical fruits. As well as this we were not only lucky enough to see, but to be withing ten foot of not one, but two mothers and their babys. This was amazing, and soon we had taken over 100 photos. May have got a bit carried away, but we did however manage to get some great shots.
