Bako National Park

The pitcher plant
Another beautiful Borneo sunset
My proboscis monkey
Secluded beaches
View points
Forest walks
Mud skipper - the missing link
No entry
Ocean front
These guys hung out around the human food

This is another one of those moments where I will let the pictures tell the tale. Needless to say with limestone, sandstone, rainforest, mangroves, wetland, dryland, and ocean the Bako National Park has a lot to offer. The guides are very informative and helpful and can point out a lot of stuff, but I have to say there is something quite magical about wandering the rainforest paths alone, listening to the sound of the forest and then coming across your very own group of proboscis monkeys. As my photo is not so great and it is a female rather than a male I have added in this link so you can see how weird and wonderful these monkeys are: http://www.geocities.com/RainForest/Vines/5257/gdc5.html
