Solo in Borneo

Annalee and I had in our plans to visit the island of Borneo while we were in Singapore. When Annalee got pregnant we decided we shouldn't go due to the risk of malaria and she was having morning sickness. She insisted that I make the trip though (she made me go). 

     

It ended up being an amazing trip. I was only there for 3 full days, but I filled every minute with adventures. Every morning I woke up at 5:30am and stayed out until 11:00pm or later. I hiked for hours in several National Forests. I was often out at night for hours with my spot light in the jungle. I travelled around on local buses or hitch hiked. Through hitch hiking I was able to save a lot of time, money, and was able to meet locals who taught me about their culture. 

Still with all I did I barely scratch the surface of what Borneo has to offer. My main goal was to see wild orangutans and proboscis monkeys. With those marked off my list I was a happy man. I feel like I'm starting to get control of my camera as well. It has been a dream come true have these experiences.

This water fall saved my life. I was completely out of water and must have drunken half gallon from this fall.
