Day 114 - Mulu National Park

---

Early start, bus to airport, small Focker 50 prop plane for short but scenic hop over the jungle to National Park. Walked in the canopy of the forest along high tree-top walkways. Walked to Lang Cave, amazing formations. Enormous Deer cave inhabited by bats. Stunning 'Garden of Eden' view at other end of cave. Back outside to watch the bats streaming out at dusk. Dinner back at camp. Me and Mark torment huge secada bugs flying round the lodge, and watched bats swooping in to eat them.
