Max was glad to be back on land.
|

We headed for Teluk Paku. After a few minutes walk, we came to a series of walkways built over mangroves, with some huts at intervals.
|
|
|
Someone was filming the Proboscis monkeys. We all kept very quiet and still and See Ming whispered to Max.
To my surprise, he seemed to understand and was happy to watch quietly.
|
|
I tried to snap some pictures of the monkeys but they stayed on the distant trees and were very shy.
|
|
|
Without a long lens, this was the best shot I got - a mother (I think) carrying one
child and leading another towards a new foraging spot.
|
|
|
|
After a good rest, it was time to get moving again. The rest of the trail was more challenging.
We quickly realised we'd overpacked quite a bit. The total distance was only 800 metres, but it was slow-going
for two out-of-shape parents.
|
|
But as always, it was an easy hike for Max.
|
|
|
After a long time, we emerged at Teluk Paku.
|
|
|
|
Mohammed's boat was a welcome sight. We were worried he'd not make it because of the receding tide.
|
|
We went a little further around the coast to see some sea stacks.
|
|
|
|
|
|
We were back at the Bako river boat dock shortly, and then took the cab to see a nearby temple.
We ate at a seafood restaurant at the foot of the temple.
|
|
|
A boat coming in to dock.
|
|
It's some 300 steps or so up the hill to the temple.
It was built for the locals to pray for the safety of their fishermen.

Back in town, dinner was at this restaraunt called Bla bla bla.

Our friends Wan Chin and Georgette.
