14th October 2003.... Pa' Lungan Adventure

The journey of adventure at Bario continue....
We woke up around 8.00 in the coolzy morning. It was extremely cold last night but there still got mosquitoes came and attacked. To make thing worst, the croakcroaches came to attack us too.... Oh... what a night....
We ate breakfast (fried rice, steam fish and tea). Around 9am, we began our adventure walk to BATU RITUNG, which is situated a few miles from the lodge. The journey took about 10 minutes. The Batu Ritung slanted and almost wanted to collapse. So, for those who interested to see it before it collapse, better go now :)
Then we went back to the lodge around 1030am. We sketched the map for Pa' Lungan and took some photos. The maps are available at www.ebario.com
Around 12noon, we ate lunch ( fried rice, honey CHICKEN!!! and steam fish)
Around 100pm, we hiked to the view point of Pa' Lungan guided by Mr. Chew. The journey to view point was terrible adventure!!! On the way to the view point, there were lots of LEECHES!!! The view point is located at the top of a mountain. It took one hour walk to reach the view point. At the beginning we did not notice that the trees around us become shorter and shorter because we had hiked higher and higher up the mountain. Out of a sudden, we noticed that there was no trees around that big enough for us to hold!!!! We began to nervous but no choice except to keep going.... so scarily!!!
Went back to lodge around 230pm and take bath. The leeches bite were terrible and our legs bleeding the whole day...
