Elke was all smiles on Sg Sarawak Kanan @ Bau on 22 July 2007

I thought I was the only person mad about kayaking until I met Elke Wollschon, whose only previous kayaking experience was on the Russia River when she last visited the US, who signed up for all 3 of our kayaking trips! I thought she was kidding when she first emailed me and did not pay too much notice to it until she pleasantly surprised me with her call on Saturday evening reminding me that she has signed up for all our kayaking trips and is raving to go!

Too beautiful for words to ever capture but no problem with a small digital camera

Though born in Germany, Elke now lives and work in KL (for the past 7 years) where she owns the largest used book store chain in Malaysia, Pay Less Books, with 5 branches in KL. She loves Malaysian food and is probably the only angmoh I know who takes chilli-padis with her food and loves curries! Elke looks like an angmoh outside but is half-malaysian inside according to her!

Elke's dream of kayaking through the jungles came true and she wanted the images for keeps

I took her out on Sunday at Bau while Azmi took her with another group on Monday at Borneo Highlands and she went dolphins spotting with Azmi again this morning!

Elke loves bamboos (she has some in her renovated bathroom) and was in awe of the giant species found along Sg Sarawak Kanan @ Bau

Elke has always dreamed about kayaking through the jungles and was most grateful that we made her dreams come through. She confessed that she was so excited when she ‘googled’ on the internet and found out about our dolphins kayaking trip. We loved kayaking and we are so glad that someone else also shared our passion. Thanks for taking our trips Elke and for being the first person to go on all our kayaking trips! And Elke told me that she'll be back again and would like us to open up more kayaking trips for her to experience. :)
