Life on the Rajang river vol.2

Getting up the river on the top of the boat. During the 3 hours trip it was rather cool to observe the life on the river and the longhouses by the river.

Lidi fishing, she was rather good - by putting the basket down the stream and then turning around some rocks she managed to be one of the best fishermen of our group.

Already next destination Mulu National Park, mostly famous for its huge caves, biggest ones in the world - 159km. I managed to visit 5 caves. Also went for so called exploration tour, then spent some 3 hours doing underground climbing and getting to know the life down there (spiders, bats and snakes).

Don't ask the name of this insect, but when it noticed danger - in this case us coming - it rolled itself nicely up
