Us again, this time with a handful of photos covering our short time in Borneo. This blog's a bit of a wildlife extravaganza - featuring giant flowers, endangered primates and rare monkeys. But these are some of our favourite photos from the entire trip so far, and we're very happy with a couple of the Orang-Utan snaps. So, get clicking & enjoy some of the most unique, elusive, and endangered flora and fauna the world has to offer.....

PS. We're home in 3 days - hope the 'welcome back party' planning is going well.... xxx
