DAY 52 TAMAN NEGARA

CANOPY WALK ONE LAST TIME.

 

Our last canopy walk. Of course even with a preparatory briefing. Ezra did not listen and broke 90% of the rules. I was filming from below. I tried to capture some good photos, bu the trees and the light made things difficult. So if you really look and zoom in you can find Dwana, Viena and Ezra. They all seemed to be ahving a good time over 100 feet in the air (40 meters). We have definitely recorded some time in this jngle to claim the jngle as our own. The leeches have our blood, at least my blood and Ezra’s blood. We were the first to walk the canopy walkway in the morning. Ezra and Viena are now familiar with the pathways of the jungle and walk them with the confidence of Mowgli. The leeches did not show up on the boardwalk this day so we did not need to worry about them. We saw a blue bird with a nest and two eggs. I hope we did not disturb the mother bird too much by waking by, but her nest was in a vine right over the trail. Speaking of vines and Viena, Viena has turned into a jungle girl, grabbing any type of vine and swinging around like Tarzan or Jane. Everyone, including Ezra has been sleeping bettersince Ezra has been sleeping next to Dwana and we added an extra fan. The clouds  and the blue sky have been fabulous. The heat is barely bearable. I keep thinking that my body will adapt, but not yet.We took our last boat ride across the sughai Tembeling. Our favorite restuarant was still river locked in by the rising river. Ezra said he saw a cloud that looked lick a gorilla. A few treats here and there and here again. Trying to plan the rest of our May. I am certain the rest of the month will be fine since we survived 10 days in the rainforest jungle of Taman Negara. – without air-con.
