Yesterday we took a hike through a Malaysian forest, part of which included a canopy walk, 200 meters off the ground. It was pretty amazing! It has been so long since I have been so totally surrounded by nature; I wanted to cry for sheer happiness!
It was especially cool to get a view of the city from a couple of the platforms.
There is something so refreshing about waterfalls. The boys had a high old time splashing around and getting pretty much soaked. Then we followed a pipeline down from the falls to a picnic area.
Climbing on top of big rocks was another thrill for the boys. We finally started walking back out to where there was a Canteen for lunch, but it was closed. So we walked and walked and walked. We had brought a taxi in the morning but there were no taxis there when we were ready to leave. The boys thought they weren't going to make it. We finally came to the main road and waited a while until an empty taxi stopped. The driver couldn't take us all the way back but offered to take us to a bus stop where we could catch a bus back into the city and didn't want to take anything for doing it. As we pulled up to the bus stop, I caught sight of McDonalds, which made my boys very very happy!
We decided to bring a bus back, since we hadn't tried that yet, and were pleased to discover there is no charge for kids to ride the bus. I think we will be using that option a bit more now!
