Mark Broadbent Part 2 - 26 Aug 09

PART 2

Took the first out to Sandakan and meet up with Bailey our transporter. We stop for breakfast at Mile 10 before proceeding to Sepilok Orang Utan Centre. (note: Jordan Sitorus was in the same plane only releasing this when he called my name and also met up with Alfons at the breakfast point).

Got some pictures of orang-utan, proboscis monkeys, languar monkeys and a violet cuckoo (this was the big surprise - but picture was only good for identification quality.

Happy reading.

Got some work to guide for a photographer from Australia from 21st Aug to 06th Sept. Very talented person and this are few of the places that we have visited.

This is part 1 of our journey and I hope the pictures will give more stories than my writing.

Happy Reading.
