We saw as many places as we could fit in in the time we were on the road and returned home in February 2010 after a truly life changing and eye opening journey. Our adventure lasted... 615 days!

Hotel Name
Hi, My boyfriend and I are going travelling in October and will be visiting Borneo in December. I was just wondering what the name of the hotel is with the "flat screen T.V" that is just outside the city of KK? Also where were the three places you went to see the Orangutans and which one would you advise to be the best? Thanks
