South Park Iphone Stream



Ten days after departure, we meet again in Kuala Lumpur, our "base camp" where we spent two days waiting for the above (which in the blog and 'below) in the forest tour Taman Negara. The holiday in Thailand decided scored on budget but fortunately it is not new to the city we managed to better manage costs. Just to give an example the first time from the airport cost us well 60RM per head, the second 35RM, 25RM the third and fourth RM 11.70. Adapting a bit 'to their style and their restaurants, we could not eat well and plenty more' of € 3 per head. ... You rat on the size disturbing passes included in price!
Our hostel was a short walk from bustling China Town and an evening around the many stalls there we are certainly not lost (in the picture, Michael is among the Chinese). This area offers a wide range of products ranging from clothing and any accessories to fruits and vegetables at bargain prices . It must be said that for many products the price is equal to the supply and quality as well, shoes and jerseys of the best brands even copied to the rules of course are not comparable to the originals. We managed to buy six DVDs and only three are working! We
to November 5, the date of our departure for the excursion, and as has happened previously with the tour to Phi Phi Island we arrived half an hour late! Blame the woodpecker who warned us of the time change. ... Well, we know that Malaysia does not change!
Three hours by bus north-east inland to get to the town of Jerantut and from there another three hours of motor launches (see picture) along the river Tambeling, not at all boring through the beautiful landscape that the forest offers its visitors. The destination is a small village on the banks of the river, reached by car from the north. Despite the environmental conditions, the organization of the various services was excellent and people were more awake and happily participate in that city. As of now we have sent the lovely Tahan Guest House (pictured), a lodging house in its simplicity it offered all the comforts of a primary as well as warm hospitality. The only negative was the small mosque a few meters from our room ... every day at five forty We were woken by megaphone that disappeared at 1000 Watt morning prayer!
excursions were included in the package, so after the excellent dinner in a floating restaurant, torch in hand, we sent in the forest accompanied by a guide (and his fantastic mustache) who followed us for all three days . Two hours of walking in the forest, of course, to a location just given, we assure you that the emotions can not give every day. On the way, have not been many sightings but we still were able to observe various types of insects, including a tarantula big and angry, the nice "stick insect" of owls, some macaques (which are not only the residents of Kuala Lumpur) and at the end of fluorescent mushrooms :-). How could we expect him to, a rainforest we came back dripping wet. Downpour came in an instant and then it lasted all night and surprised us in the middle of the excursion. For each way, as can be annoying to walk on a street that turned into a river, this has also been a great experience.
Another detail to consider when you forward in some places is that you lose those unwanted noises that people are replaced by verses and shouts of some kind of animal! In photos: We in Jungle session! Early in the morning after breakfast, backpackers have reached the "Canopy Walkway, the longest rope bridge the world, well-550mt and suspended at a height of up to 45 mt (pictured).
crossing the bridge, the trail continued up to a beautiful view of the park that extends as far as the eye with its 4343 square meters. In the afternoon we visited with the group to an aboriginal village reachable within minutes by boat (last photo). The place clearly reflect their origins and customs, just unfortunate that the consumerism that has affected the landscape has meant that encompassed a lot of garbage scattered here and there. This nomadic people called the "Orang Asli" living divided into tribes of about fifty people and you argue for more hunting and fishing. It must be said that a few hours after one of them was in the queue with us in a food. The village chief has briefly shown how to light the fire, did not prove their blowguns and there has been no attempt to sell one. finally had time to fast and the spear that he had scarrozzato for those two days he has spared us yet another wash (very funny)! On November 7 when we left to KL after spending the last evening with the group of boys with whom we have shared these experiences and that fortunately proved to be very interesting as well as knit.



See you in Australia ...
