Borneo - Sandakan

After spending the next two days on various boats, buses and planes, we made it to the northern province of Sabah. The second half of our trip was to be spent here. After sneaking everyone into one room at a hotel by the airport, we took off early the next morning and flew to Sandakan to see orangutans at the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre.


The monkeys come through the forest on their own or in small groups on these vine-like ropes.

Twice a day the workers put bananas out at two feeding posts like these for the monkeys to come and eat.





This picture was taken immediately before the monkey decided to let out a nice long stream of pee.


Vanessa the Orangutan.

Easily the best sign I've seen in a while.
