DAY 117 BLACK HOLE SUN BEARS OF BORNEO


Ezra survived our first Borneo outing to the Lok Kawi Wilderness Park and he has not lost his super-ability to fall asleep within minutes of being dropped off so that he must be carried home. I was hoping the minivan driver would realize our plight and drive up the additional kilometer home sleeping 17kilogram boy with us, but no. I guess I could have used another 5 Ringgits. Today we went to the Lok Kawi Wilderness Park and saw many different types of animals – in cages – Tigers, elephants, bears, pythons, Emus, Orang Utans, and tropical birds. A pretty nice park – small and simple – let the animals do the talking. We caught a minivan from the market area and he was able to drop us off and pick us back up, which we learned is important – to have a round trip – some one to pick you up. Viena did great walking around and did not complain at all and loved seeing all the creatures. Ezra started to tire after a couple hours and kept wanting one of his 4 hugs a day. At a minimum. The Orang Utans and the proboscis monkeys were neat to see. Ezra really liked to monkeys. The day is on the hotter side of days. Ezra just woke up from his nap and he is pacing with a frown. Dwana is hanging upside down trying to decrease the swelling in her left knee. So far 2 weeks from Ezra trauma-knee date.
