The first bus we took from Mandarin Pacific Hotel took about 3 hours. We were dropped off at a restaurant/travel service. We had lunch and took a 30 minute bus ride to get our national park permits. From there we had a very relaxing, 3 hour boat ride to Taman Negara-- the final destination! We were taken to our hotel, which was very nice, overlooking the jungle and quiet except for the sound of nature.
That evening we ate a delicious, albeit lukewarm, dinner provided by the hotel that included soup full of vegetables, curry, rice, broiled fish, mixed vegetables, and fruit for dessert. We went out after dinner to see some nocturnal creatures in the jungle. We saw spiders, scorpions, a millipede, a bat, a red grasshopper, and more. The next day we saw some monkeys, water buffalo, and a water monitor lizard.
We woke up early to hike in the jungle. I don't think I've ever sweat so much! We walked back over a canopy bridge, had lunch, rode down some white water rapids, and did some swimming to end our day. It was a good mix of exercise, relaxation, and fun.
We relaxed that night to prepare for the long journey back to Kuala Lumpur the next morning. We had dinner at one of the floating restaurants on the river.
We finally got to Chinatown, found a cool bar, called Reggae Bar, and ate dinner. Delicious!! Then we walked around Petaling Market before heading to the airport. 12 hours later we were back home in Korea....
