Borneo Photos

Photos from Borneo!

Hi folks! Here are the first few photos from the Borneo stage of my Asian adventure. I’ll be uploading more as time goes on, but I wanted to get the first few up here for the early-birds

If you’re interested in finding out when more pictures are added, the best way is to follow me on Facebook – I’m on there as ‘Tony James Slater’ – and I’ll be sure to mention it whenever I add to these galleries. Thanks for looking! Here’s the pics:

Packing for Asia — The first step of the trip – after shopping for all that gear, of course – is trying to fit all that gear into our backpacks…

Library Books — We hired out all these library books for research… and never opened a single one. Well – I *may* have read the one about Lego…

Offal Smell — The raw meet and intestines aisle of the supermarket in Kota Kinabalu was a pungent experience.

Baby with Wiggly — This terrifying toy baby crawls ‘With Wiggly’, apparently, and music. Yours for less than ten dollars. The nightmares are free.

Amazing to see the orangutans close up – they loved to just hang out!

There was no way I was going to make it across these rings, near Paganakan Dii. But then, I’m not a monkey, am I? Not quite…

Kinabatanagan Mist — Morning mist over the Kinabatanagan River

Stuck in mud — A certain someone losing her boots in the mud on our Kinabatanagen jungle hike.

Soaked in Mulu — We arrived into Camp 5 in Mulu National Park, just a few minutes AFTER the rain had started…

Pinnacles Ladders — The ladders on the pinnacles climb were just that – from a hardware store, tied on with rope!

Pinnacles — The pinnacles – razor-sharp points of rock. Not a lot of comfy places to sit and eat your sandwiches…

The map of the Canopy Walk at the Raniforest Discovery Centre was perhaps a tiny bit inaccurate…

Bako Wild Pigs — The wild pigs in Bako National Park did their level best to eat me alive.

Toilet Danger — Be Warned! Using a Western toilet as a squat toilet is more dangerous than you could possibly imagine! Apparently.

Thanks for looking, folks! Remember, I’ll be posting more pics as soon as I can. I’ve just been rather busy getting the book finished, you see – it takes a lot longer to write the damn thing than it does to read it
