Beautiful Borneo Highlands
posted by Francis Ho
We had just came back from our river run from Bengoh to Danu and we had a wonderful time on the river and exploring the Borneo Highlands area after our paddle.The place is so beautiful and we had discovered a new river, with crystal clear mountain water that we would definitely be back to paddle, which joins Sg Sarawak Kiri; the river we were on. I couldn't wait to share this with you; so here are some quick photos!
The place and river is so beautiful that all residents of Kuching really do owe it to themselves to experience this wondrous magical river; at least once in their lifetime.
A posting and more photos (in the next few days) will follow this quick post.
Trust that your sunday had been just as wondrous and satisfying.
Woof! woof!

Hi selba! - yes; the cool morning air and the mist creates a moody atmosphere.
I think it's the alpha dog as all the other kampong dogs were staying well clear of him n he was not afraid of me even as I approach him to take a closer shot. What a handsome animal!

Yes, FH2o, it is most definitely a moody atmosphere! Tree-covered mountains hugged by mist has always been one of my favorite kinds of scenery. I can sit and look at it for hours (and probably compose a dozen songs and/or a few dozen pages of poetry afterward).
Spectacular countryside!

Most beautiful scenes, as always. The climate up there must be refreshing. You're right, I must make my way up there on my next flight east.

selba - oh! I thought u n chen were coming together? no?
Hmmm in that case I'll put you and Robin on the same kayak; sit back and watch the fun begins as we meander down the river!
Now, I can hardly wait for the arrival of Mr and Mrs Smith!! heehee!

Huh? Mr and Mrs Smith? LOL.. where does that idea come from?
Yes, I would love to go together with Chen, but so far, as I understand, her schedule is depend on her work.
As for me, I was thinking to take a leave from 11 - 13 April (we have 2 holidays on 10 and 14 April, so I can have the whole week holiday), but I'm not sure with Robin...
I need to move fast if the plan is confirmed because my passport will be expired very soon and need to ask my supervisor for taking the leave.
