A trip to Ulu Muda

Guys, let me start this.....

Its a 3 days 2 nights trip organised by our big brother Nelson 2 months ago, respond was very good but space is limited. It was a wet and also dry trip. Wet...1st day already wet wet going into destination (ulu Muda) 1.5 hours from Gurun toll, and another 1.5 hours sampan ride (with 2 stroke engine) to destination. By the time arrive...all usual symptom came out, back side pain, paralysis, wet......but all these was gone after we saw a well maintained, clean and thick tropical rain forest. Thanks to the gate keeper En Hymeir. Same for 2nd and 3rd board ride when ever we step on the board it start raining.....

Many birds and heard many new calls, but quite challenging for us. Rain and leeches was the main excuse for me to get lazy.....

Well, definitely is going back there once the electricity is in place.

Here is how the environment looks like at the jetty on our 1st day.
