So far so good on the trip. The rain has finally stopped, not for long I think and I only have 6 (although they are huge) mosquito bites, oucharama, the mosqituos don't like Brian and haven't bitten him yet!! So I am trying all the remedies - inspect spray, vitamen B and gin and tonics - trying these remedies on myself and not Brian!!
I know this next paragraph will make those in lovely wet ireland seeth, we spent today on tropical islands, trekking through the jungle; saw a huge lizard there, then relaxing on the beach in the basking sun looking at all the other tropical islands till our speedboat picked us and Michelle from our hostel to go to the next island. Bliss!! Brian will upload photos soon to make ye even more jealous.
Yesterday, we went to a water village with Michelle and Kim, where wooden houses are built on stilts at the edge of the jungle on the water. The locals in the village we visited Penambawang, were lovely, we even played tabletennis in the floating community centre!!
All the locals are great here, Brian and Michelle both joined in on a tug of war on one of today's islands.
We're heading west of Kota Kinabulu tomorrow for jungle, mountain climbing (eekk!) and hopefully will spot some Orangatangs so probably won't be online to blog for a few days but take care and hope the rain stops soon and munster win!!!
