desert island bliss

A brief one, since computering isn't high on my list of priorities!

Just back to the mainland of Borneo from our trip to Lankayan; it was plain incredible, unforgettable bliss. Having lived in Malaysia for over a decade and visited some pretty fantastic places, this island, among beachy type destinations, is one of the most ridiculously picturesque and tranquil spots I've ever encountered.

The SCUBA diving was fantastic, and even then, the house reef was so full of life that snorkeling was enough to get a glimpse of turtles, black tip sharks, lion fish, anemones, mandarins, gobies, shoals of scad, a great barracuda (massive beastie) and puffers. I could verily adapt to life on an island.

Now, all this relaxing goodness is to be offset by almost ten days in pouring rain atop the montane forests of the mainland. Plants and bugs time.

Ciao ciao!
