Well it really is the best kept secret in Asia. This part of Borneo has lived up to it's reputation. We have had a great holiday enhanced by sharing it with our god friends Paul and Claire. We have seen pygmy elephants, proboscis monkeys, hornbills and crocodiles all in the wild, and yesterday when visiting the proboscis sacnctuary we spotted a lone orang Utan sitting in the top of a very tall tree. We have had very close encounters with Oran utans and Poboscis monkeys in their respective reserves and we have delved into the WW2 history with visits to Agnes keith's house (author of Land Below the Wind, and Three Came Home amongst others) and the war memorial park to the 2500 Australian and British POW's who died on the forced marches from here to Ranau.

All in all a great exeperience!
