Taman Negara
The Oldest Rain Forest in The World also has the Longest Canopy walk in the world.
We took a walk along a dozen rope bridge high up in the tree canopy, unsure of the exact hight lets just say high. great views of the tree tops and the jungle from that hight, see plants and insects that you would not see on the ground. it is also had to swot at the insects when you are holding on to a rope bridge good knows how many feet in the air. We enjoied the treking through the rain forest, boy was it humid.
We took a night walk with a guide, saw so many insects and plants that you would not see during the day or without the aid of a guide. I spotted a brown spider which I was very pleased about, we saw a baby bird spider and an adult one in its hide. The bird spider is the worlds second largest spider an the baby was huge. As we came out of one of the hides after spoting some deer, a giant fruit bat was hangging from a tree branch in front of us about 7 foot in the air. A great sight with its mouth all lite up under our tourch light. Haven’t been that close to a bat until the next day. A night there are glow worms and glowing mushrooms, natuers neon lights can see them only in the dark they are too small to spot in daylight. a real nice walk spotting spiders, crickets, and stick insects along with others.
The next day was spudunking – caving.. Gwano bats droppings covered the cave floor as we ducked and crawelled our way through this dark cave. bats hung from the roof as we walked through an under ground stream and spipped and slided through crevases to reach the end. Much fun was had by all and I didn’t bang my head once, our clothes needed a wash due to the large darkened stains on our backsides as we had slided down one of the cave walls (which was covered in Gwano) to reach the end.
Taman Negara was an enjoyable few days of treking.
