20th September
A bit of a sleep in this morning and then at 10am we caught a
boat ride on the Melinau River and then turned into Baram River to the Long
Iman Penan settlement and longhouse. We went for a nice long hot walk (1hr) and
at the end we were rewarded with a majestic waterfall. In no time at all we
were in the cool clear water and enjoying a waterfall massage.
Addison was in her prime enjoying the variety of rocks, especially the chalky ones that she ground up to make paint. Of course mum and dad were the canvas'– enjoying sitting quietly while Addison created a masterpiece (apparently) on her back!
A simple lunch of noodles cooked on a bush fire. The Costa family also came with us and the kids loved having others to play with – jumping into the deep pools, skimming stones, playing tag, investigating the waterfall and swimming most of the day. Although it was really hot, the water felt so cool and refreshing. It was sad to say goodbye to the Costa family who were spending the night at the longhouse but we swapped contact details so we can keep in touch. A beautifully refreshing ride home in the boat and then we quickly made our way back to the national park to go back to see the bats exiting from Deer cave. It was great to see them come flowing out. Our last meal at the cafe across from Mulu Village.
