Borneo

The Proboscis monkey, indiginous to Borneo they have huge dangly noses and big yellow bellies.
We were cruising along the river searching for Pygmy elephants when we came across a large herd eating their way along the bank. We got very close to them on the boat. Brett tried to pass one a stalk like they were eating but it stepped back.

Rasa Ria resort, Malaysian Borneo

Flew to meet mum and dad on island of Borneo for a week. Stayed in a fantastic resort with a nature reserve including an orang-utan rehabilitaion centre. We did morning Tai che-which was actually quite hard work! ate amazing buffets, saw loadsa animals-some unique to Borneo and had a really good time.
