    The following day, 5 of my friends decided to walk around the island. At first, we thought it's an easy job to do that since it is a small island.....but later, we realised it's dangerous & tough to jump from one rock to another...& worst, we're forced to climb the cliff before the high tide. It's became an exciting adventure trip....


    Good morning Borneo!





    We're lucky to have ladies to cook the breakfast for us!

    My tent got leaking & my clothes are wet because it rained the night before....need to dry my clothing in this way:

    Re: Camping in a deserted island

    Less than 5 % of the shore is sandy beach.





    At the northern point, the terrain is rough and we have to walk very fast & carefully. The tide is coming in....if we failed to by pass this terrain, we need to climb the cliff....






    A cave created by erosion (wave)! We couldn't cross over to other side because the water is too deep. We had to climb the cliff! Our female member, Christine found a path to by pass it but it's not easy to walk! The slope is very slippery & its covered by thick bush. We spent half an hour to crawl, climb & slip down the cliff! It was fun & exciting but it could kill us if we're not lucky.


    The cave....

    And your knowledge of the flora and fauna of the places you go is fantastic..
