The rains fell hard during the sunset. Much different than yesterday’s out of this world sunset. This was our first hard rain in Borneo and Viena and Ezra went out and played in the rains. We had been caught earlier in a small rain storm this afternoon, but this was a big rain storm. During the small rain storm we were taking a small bike ride down the beach to investigate the Monkey Forest. After I pointed out Monkeys on the point, Ezra pointed out a monkey that was right in front of us on the rocks. The monkeys were smaller than the ones in Ubud and they were not interested in us. After the rains stopped, the bugs arrived in numbers. The little No-See_Ums were swarming around our heads. Luckily, Ezra and Viena were on bikes, but even with their added speed of the bikes, the bugs kept up with them. I do not think I have ever seen Viena bike so fast. There must have been 100 of them swarming around her wet hair. Borneo has been the worst place for bugs. This morning we finally made our sunrise walk. We were out the door by 5:30AM with stars still hovering in the sky. The morning was clear and the tide was high but we made the walk all the way down to the Western Spit. We found some sun and some shade and the water appeared cleaner. We saw some water buffaloes on the other side of the river. These water buffaloes were much farther away than the two water buffaloes we encountered in the darkness at the beginning of our walk and rumbled by in front of us on the sandy trail to the beach.
