Unfortunately Sepilok proved the most expensive place so far for both sleeping and eating. That said, i would definitely recommend it to anyone. Watching the orang-utans swinging from trees and eating bananas with amazing dexterity is something you really have to see with your own eyes. Perhaps the funniest moment was when one of the younger orang-utans pushed his bowl of milk off the platform and then after staring at the point where it had fallen for a while, turned to the feeder, gave him a classic shrug of the shoulders and then belly flopped into the rainforest below in search of the bowl. I think perhaps Robbie's highlight will have been when one of the smaller monkeys who roam the sanctuary fearlessly decided to make a jump for me and landed on my back, i immediately flung it off, in my opinion quite gracefully, this didnt stop robbie laughing all the way home.
We saw Tiffany at the sanctuary, still stiff, almost unable to walk from her climb. She was however very proud of herself, and very pleased that she had done it, good for her. Unfortunately her hostel was a bus ride away so we spent a an hour or so with her before going our separate ways. However we resloved to meet in sandakan that evening. Sandakan is only a short local bus journey away and we were there by late afternoon.
