I really don’t know what I was thinking when I signed us up for this 3 Days/2 Nights Kinabatangan River Cruise which includes one morning and one nighttime jungle walk. Anyway, on the nighttime walk we saw a few cool things, and the Australian father-mother-younger daughter trio was very fun. The older daughter was a teenager who couldn’t wait to go back to her room after dinner to sulk. She would have been miserable for the entire 90 minutes.
The guide called this “Hundred Feet”. Google says it’s a type of centipede.
Itsy bitsy spider.
Sleepy bird doesn’t get the worm.
Moth
A fungi and a snail (upper-right corner).
Don’t rattle the snake, he’s sleeping.
I should have turned around when I saw this “bridge”, but it was too dark for me to walk back to the lodge alone.
Not Sasquatch; it’s our guide.
Back at the room, there was a centipede waiting for us. Kenric scooped him up with a brochure and set him outside. Then, Kenric discovered his two leech friends. After that whole saga, and when I was finally showered and sitting in bed, the centipede came back inside from under the door. We trapped it with a cup because had we just thrown it outside and it would probably just come back within half an hour. Kenric will set it free tomorrow when we leave.
Guess what I just saw nosing around in the same part of the room? Another centipede! There better not be another one because there are only two cups in the room! I swear, I grew up poor and these creepy crawlies were a common sight in the village, but they never stop freaking me out!
Two cups of centipede, anyone? Kenric just told me the centipede doesn’t actually have one hundred legs. What a gross abuse of the metric system!
