Trip to Mulu Caves, Sarawak

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Hi guys, Its been awhile since I wrote here.
I guess time seems to drift when we get older.

Ahaha.. I just got back from a trip on Sarawak, in particular to Mulu caves.
Or destination took us from KLIA Airport to Miri on a Boeing 747, & then finally to Mulu on a Fokker
1The picture here is the pic we took before flying off to Mulu from Miri.
We took a small propeller plane.. ahaha my FIRST time sitting in such a small aircraft.
Inside, it felt like a small mini bus with wings.

The resort that we stayed in was called the Royal Mulu Resort. Ahaha.. I remember being an avid student of geography (yeah.. when i was smaller @_@) & I read about Sarawakians using rivers  as a means of transport.Well they werent kidding, in fact most of our travels were on motorboat kilometers into the jungle.

The prime attractions is Mulu are their naural cave formations.We had the pleasure of visiting 4 of them during our stay there. Deer cave, Clearwater cave, & a few others that slip my mind right now.

Ahaha hiking there took us 4 kilometers on foot into deep foliage.
Inside, we has the chance to witness for ourselves unique cave formations that took millions of years to develop.

Most of the caves snaked with underground streams. I was stupid(brave?) enough to drink from one of those streams.. ahaha my colleagues said I was crazy.

It tAstes like mineral water actually.. aahahaha. I guess they were not convinced.
I guess i’ll continue this post abit later. I got to go now.
