Airasia, 2nd year in a row

Last year Thailand and Kabodia, this year Malasia, AirAsia (similar to European Ryanair), makes Asia a cheaper place to fly around in. This year we decided for a 6 days holiday May 1st to May 6th, partly because we came to the conclusion that Veslemøy could not have enough time off to go to Norway this summer, so Malasia was a good number 2 choice.

I fjor reiste jeg til Thailand med AirAsia (lignende RyanAir i Europa), og i år reiste jeg til Malasia med dem, de gjør asia mindre og billigere i luften. I år bestemte vi oss relativt spontant for en 6 dagers ferie i begynnelsen av Mai, delvis fordi vi konkluderta at Veslemøy ikke kunne få nok fri til sommeren til å dra til Norge, dermed en kortere tur til Malasia ett rimelig bra nest beste alternativ.

Pouring hot springs

The Poring Hot springs, actually the name of the place, was quite a pleasant experience, although it was raining at the time, at least the water was naturally heated.

De varme kildene ved foten av Mt. Kotakinabalu var verdt en tur, og var nokså behagelig, til tross for at det regnet på tidspunktet.

Raflasia

Raflasia is the biggest flower in the world, this one probably about 50cm in diabmeter, they only bloom 7 days a year, for this specimen that seems to have been some time ago.

Raflasia er verdens største blomst, denne er vel en halvmeter i diameter, de blomstrer bare 7 dager i året, og for denne så var vel det for en stund siden.

Fireflies

Fireflies is ”impossible” to take pictures off, but I ended up with this shot… Very interesting to see all these flying fires, and we found a tree in the darkness that has so many fireflies on it that it looked like a Christmas tree.

Ildfluer er visstnok umulig å ta bilde av, men jeg endte opp med dette forstørrede bildet... Det var veldig interessant å se alle disse fluene ”i fyr og flamme”, og vi fant ett tre i mørket som hadde så mange ildfluer på det at det minnet om ett juletre.

Preparing for monkey trip

The monkeys of Borneo are quite famous, and the teddy bears they make here seems of good quality too.

Apekattene I Borneo er Ganske berømte, teddy bjørnene likeså, og snart skal vi ut å se levende apekatter.

Proboscis

This relatively rare and shy kind of ape, can only be found in Borneo, and we went on a excursion (by boat) to find some in their natural habitat. We were not as near as it may seem, but 5x optical zoom helped for this photo.

Denne sjeldne og relativt sky apesorten finnes bare i Borneo, og vi la ut på en liten safari (pr båt) for å finne levende eksemplarer. Vi kom ikke så veldig tett innpå, men 5x optisk zoom hjelper jo.

Direct decendant from monkies

The ”canopy walk” was 150 meter long rope supported roads, really quite far up in the treetops, and I am adding some difficulty to the walk.

Denne 150 meter lange gåturen oppe mellom enorme trærs trekroner, var ganske luftig, og jeg gjorde mitt beste for å øke vanskelighetsgraden.
