Day 28: Sun. Bucharest..finally day in Europe!

We had  a tour of the Parliament  building, a staggeringly impressive monument comprised of an opulent ballroom, 1,000 offices, vast staircases & massive marble columns. It was built at the command of the dictator in the 80s. No aircon as he was worried he would be killed. He was paranoid  & eventually executed. The building was awe inspiring, 89 metres high & 90 metres built below ground. Ots the third largest admin building in the world.

Then a final tour of historic Bucharest with a beautiful Byzantine church. Our phones all went off alerting to a cyclone bearing down on us.
We headed to a fab pastry shop where your choice was packed into a fancy box.

7 of us had a final soiree in the 'Princess suite." A huge apartment for 1! We brought along any leftover snacks & school & toasted us!
What an adventure! Love love love Eastern Europe!

Islands in the Stream

After my usual breakfast of fried noodles, omelette & muesli it was time to board a fast boat to Manukan Island, where we snorkelled & swam in warm waters to our hearts content. By afternoon it was time to head back to the shores of KK. A few of us braved the humidity & went shopping downtown. Shoes were bought for $5:00, kids T-shirts at $3.50. We went out for dinner , all 23 of us plus our guide, to the jetty, rice, seafood , fish, beef, curry & vegetables. Most days we eat this for lunch & dinner.

A Discovery day!

Borneo is 5° north of the Equator. Anne you will be pleased as l have again lost half my body weight in sweat! OMG! But this beautiful hotel in Sabah has a pool. It's like walking into a hot bath but who cares! It's wet! First stop was the orang-utans rehab centre. We walked on raised platforms to the nursery then to the orang-utans  feeding platforms. Superb creatures. After that it was across the road to the sun bears centre. The world's smallest bear. Only 70cm high. They are black with a snu aura like a necklace under their chins. I got the money shot here. They were 20 feet below but this one bear crawled up a tree trunk almost at eye level & plonked himself down.  After lunch we went to the Rainforest Discovery centre & explored remaining tropical forest by walking a canopy walkway 630m off the ground.  Much higher than WA Rutts. Palm oil is hugely contentious and has destroyed most of the vegetation & hence endangered the wildlife. I did my famous or in...

Borneo or Bust!

We had a smooth flight on Malaysian Airlines into Kuala Lumpur. The airport is vast & poorly signed. We were wandering lost for ages, no one around at 6:00am to ask but needed to be on a bus to take us to the other domestic airport miles away. I kept looking at people as if they had Tripadeal tattooed on their forehead. Many smiled back. Yes they were Trippa people. They were my tribe! Arrived in Sandakan. Incredibly hot & humid. A great group of 23 people from NZ & Oz. Our leader decided that prior to checking in at our plush hotel, that it was best to take us to the Sandakan War memorial garden. There we told a tragic tale from WW2 of the death march where 1,800 Aussi soldiers were kept in this POW camp by Japanese soldiers & put to work under appalling conditions. Only 6 survived as they managed to escape. Officials from Aus & Britain tried keeping this under wraps.
