Easter on the Kinabatangan





Easter eggs, Easter bunnies, hot cross buns- forget about it here. More like Easter monkies of all different kinds- Probiscus monkey, long tailed macaques, orangutans... a very different kind of Easter hunt.

After cruising along the Kinabatangan and witnessing the wildlife and a beautiful sunset, we slather ourselves in mosquito repellent and long sleeves, ready to battle the insect army that comes out to fight at night. On the way to dinner, we battle our way through huge swarms of kamikaze green beetles and fighter jet cicadas- we cover our ears, eyes, and any other orifices we can fit our hands over! Munching our way through the green jungle root stirfry- we tentatively chew our way through each bite, testing for any extra crunchiness that might be a wayward kamikaze pilot!

All in all, a very different Easter dinner :-)
