Boy carrying all the rice paper out in to the sun for drying
He gets a couple of glasses of milk if he can carry more than 7 layers.
Rice noodle factory
They make a rice paste then steam it on a hot plate to make it look like this picture, then it is dried in the sun and chopped up to make noodles. Very tasty
This is the local land market
Selling from baby ducklings to snakes as well as your bog standard fruit and veg.
Floating Market
They tie fruit on to a big pole on their boat, to show what they are selling, it was not a beautiful floating market, but still an authentic trade market.

First rapid which was a grade 4
Sian was particularly scared before heading out almost did not do it but ended up loving it. Fitty on the other hand little bit scared then once we got going she remained petrified throughout.
The snake we thought was a branch
Not very big for our first sighting of a snake but Fitty said it still counts as scary as it was venomous.
hmm attractive
This was Fitty on our trek through the jungle it was very muddy to say the least but awesome. Mud got to as high as the top of the attractive orange wellies and the water was leech infested. Luckily we also had our attractive leech socks. Really was not a day for fashion.
Kinabatangan River in Sabah
This is where we went for our morning and afternoon boat trips to see wildlife. Corridor of life they called it.
Kinabatangan River in Sabah
We traveled for around 3 hours to get here. Fitty was very excited when she saw the hut, me on the other hand was not. Rustic to say the least. We were bitten all night long but worth it for the experience we had here.
Mother and child
We watched these Orangutans from a viewing platform in Sepilok. Little baby poking out away from mummy briefly.
Welcome to Borneo
This little girl was sat in the Entrance of the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre just a 2 minute walk from our hotel.
Bamboo scaffolding
It is amazing that even the 50+ storey buildings are still built using bamboo scaffolding.
Sian on the Star Ferry
On our way to dinner on Kowloon, we passed on the webbed feet soup and had lovely Cantonese food instead.
Hong Kong Sky tower
We arrived in Hong Kong and went up the Peak tram, Amazing views of the sky scrapers.
