I woke up early. Checked my watch, it was almost 5am. The two lovebirds are deep asleep; let them. After washing my face I climbed up the deck.

My father grew up amid the green hills of Assam in India. When I was a little boy, I went with him to see the vastness of nature, holding his hand.

Hi Dave, as always, thank you for your valuable comment. There are so many roads in the world to travel, I was not and still I am not sure if and when I will set foot again to visit the Orangutans in the Camp Leaky. But as you said, the memories will be there for ever. Like I always do, reminisce them in my own moments when I stroll along the memory lane....they always refresh my mind. Thanks you again, Dave. Now that I have completed my blogs on Indonesia, I will take a break from writing blogs just for a while as I am preparing my short trip to Peru in June. Suman will join me this time. But I will continue to read all new wonderful blogs in the meantime.
