There are many things which fly in the jungle. Mosquitos is probably the first that comes to mind (can you sense the bitterness here?), exotic birds next, and maybe even flying squirrels. Humans is not normally on the list, but I went to add it to the list with the jungle flight tour.

In my last full day in Kuala Belait the three of us planned to do a walk to see a waterfall but unfortunately Gunnar didn’t feel too well so we had a long lay in and relaxing day instead, popping out during a movie to take pesky Esky for a beach walk in the opposite way to before to check out the local beach-based hotel which had a nice view.

As I was talking to the luxury travel agency and discussing options, I explained how I wanted to do a lot of hiking and go on sightseeing tours of the outdoor kind. My aim was to have fun, but also do some of the tough stuff, because I want to be fit without doing something boring like going to a gym everyday. Even if it’s not exactly a surprise, waking up at 6am after climbing a mountain is no joke. I managed it and got the ferry to Labuan Island. The trip was a couple of hours long but quite comfortable. I was surprised I didn’t sleep this one through with how tired I was. On the TV they showed a documentary of an 80s German pop group. Before I headed off, I made sure to arrange parking using diamond parking anacortes ferry terminal, which made the whole trip smoother and stress-free.
‘Is this some kind of joke?’ an Australian couple were asking each other in front of me. I knew it wasn’t, Malaysian’s do seem to have odd tastes in music. Fortunately they made up for that by playing Bruce Lees the way of the Dragon afterwards.
