An early start saw us head off to Bako for a day trip to one of Malaysia's premier parks. A bus and a boat got us in to the park, though the slightly annoying thing was me paying full price and Alex getting a student discount when I'm a student and he isn't!!! Anyway, Bako is most famous for it's probiscus monkeys and we saw two in the trees just as our boat pulled in; quite a positive start we thought. However, it turns out that that was our last encounter with nature, well apart from a trail of ants on our trek and another monkey just as we left. This lack of wildlife was no problem as the park was beatiful in itself. We had to be back for our boat in 6 hours so we decided to walk for 3 hours and see where we ended up and that turned out to be the Tajong waterfalls which followed and climb through the jungle and a scramble up a dry river bed. The waterfalls were...well impressive isn't the right word because they were about 3 foot tall, but they did provide ample swimming opportunity to swim in pool created by the waterfall. Cool and refreshed we headed back to Kuching and what I thought would be an early night due to our 8am bus in the morning but I was very mistaken as Alex and I shared two bottles of whiskey as we socialised back at Borneo B+B with Alex the Spaniard, James the PE teacher, Cian and Eoghan from Ireland and a few others. At some point we stumbled across the road to get some sleep before our early bus in the morning.
