Day 4: Mornings are for boat rides

Contrary to the sucky day we had yesterday, today was awesome. We had to get up early to take a boat ride down to Kampong Abai to get some water samples and although the ride was long, it was enjoyable. It wasn't raining, it wasn't hot. And most importantly, I was clean and dry :)


Nothing really eventful happened just that we took a loooooong boat ride down stream, I saw birds (hornbills, darters, kingfishers), saw some orangutan nests (I think), found out that one part of the river is 21.5 meters deep (!!!), drove all the way to Sandakan to courier off the samples to Tanah Melayu, and back to Sukau again to turn in for an early night.

The tourists...

...and the researcher :)
