21 September
We caught a ride to the park HQ to partake in the 8.30am
canopy walk. The canopy walk is a suspension walkway 30m above the forest floor
and 480m long. Some of the walkway was closed so instead of a loop, we walked
the length of the walkway and then returned the same way.
We weren’t luck enough to see any animals although Peter and Jordyn got to see a Niahm butterfly – it looks like a stealth jet fighter and it rarely flaps its wings as it glides. We saw some more interesting bugs on the morning and a pygmy possum which is about the size of a small field mouse. Back to Mulu Village to pay our bill, pack our bags and say our goodbyes. We were fortunate enough to catch up with the Costa family as they arrived just as we were leaving to get the bus to the airport. Caught a flight from Mulu to Kota Kinabalu – with a quick stop at Miri airport to go through customs. Apparently you can enter the Sarawak region without a problem, but they want to ensure that .people do not stay at Mulu and take the jobs from the locals. A nice two hour wait at KK with time to have dinner, and then on to Sandakan and our stay at Sepilok B & B. Peter’s new friend Amal lives in Sandakan and is going to catch up with us tomorrow. They sat together on the flight from Sydney. Peter is making lots of new friends everywhere we visit.
