4/12/08: Tracking the Past

Today, we’re supposed to go white water rafting. Fortunately or unfortunately, the activity was cancelled. The night before, it had rained heavily the whole night. The whole place was flooded. The river was flowing really fast and the rapids had disappeared.

So, we had our breakfasts and visited the Mulu Discovery Centre. It was here we traced how far we had walked, and from where, and how our journey looked like. It was there that I discovered the existence of Sarawak Chambers, a chamber the size of a football field, large enough to put a Boeing 747!

Due to time constraint, we didn’t visit this Sarawak Chamber. Next time, if I have the time, I will definitely go!

We also learnt about bats. I learnt that a bat is an excellent pollinator transplanter. They help to spread the seeds of the flowers in the forests. Bats are also harmless creatures. They won’t attack unless provoked. They also eat fruits and only hunt in the night.

At 330pm, we were on the Fokker Plane (MAS Wings) to Miri. Ahhh… back to the city. Oh no Oh no!

At night, we had food at one of the hawker centres near Boulevard. It was really delicious. It had been eons since I touched Meat! Yeay!!! Sandwich and vegetables were just enough to keep me alive.
