the way in the jungle - Part 2
Once I was back after dinner half-way for forces already sounded the first notes of the upcoming jungle symphony. For the full enjoyment of the concert I went after the onset of darkness on the way for a little night hike. Armed with my flashlight, and MP3 player, or in this case better MP3 player, I was sitting somewhere in the bush and called the incredibly colorful background noise and the unique atmosphere in me, as the trees around the water. But to see and there was a lot: the fireflies celebrated their colorful game on the ground was littered with phosphorescent leaves, while the Dschungelbächlein reflected in the moon light the towering trees. The night on the wooden bench in the observation hut was rather uncomfortable as well as morning finding that the number of rats in the night my entire bread stock had aufgevespert, although I had my food supplies extra still hung with a nail in the wall . On the return trip I have planned as yet actually met Marius. I had almost given up hope, especially as I had on this hike twice tangled again properly. But then the joy was all the greater, and we also celebrated immediately with a refreshing dip in the nearby jungle river. Soon after that it should go to both but again. For me to Kuala Lumpur and Marius for two more nights in the jungle before we would meet again in Singapore. From the jungle, Your David
Heading in the oldest jungle in the world - Part I
"Taman Negara" he means the oldest jungle in general, and he is right in the heart of the Malay Peninsula. After my organizational extra day in the tea estates, I made my way to where to stay Marius the fascination of the jungle, could already have been experiencing a moon long. On the same evening I made all preparations to be ready the next morning for my two-day jungle trek. Wasserentkeimungstabletten, enough food, blanket, lamp, and what you experience,:) just so needed in the jungle. early in the morning then I went to the track. The "must-do for any visitor to the park is the" Canope-Walkway "which is visited according to good (even by me). And because you're always so happy to hear about all the "superlativsten" facts, be said at this point, that this act is the longest suspension bridge in the world. It is indeed an impressive structure, which with its nearly 500 meters and some 40 meters above the ground, from tree crown to tree crown forthangelt. In the further course of the trek is gradually thinned the sighted visitor numbers to a population of 0.25 per hour. Approximately the same extent reduced, unfortunately, the visibility of the beaten track, so I at once was pretty lost in the jungle, surrounded by the extremely hostile mandrel path-less palm trees and all the other flora. Fortunately, roared in the distance, the river that my focus was definitely in a positive way contribute. Just before I reached the path again, but there was a serious scare. Because while I have so my way through the bushes, paved again and again palm leaves and ferns on the side sliding, sitting there suddenly a ghastly green snake zusammengekringelt front of me on a Journal and is basking. It makes you a picture, which made for a set I to the rear and above all, a soundtrack with what I painted this. I'm really scared to death and have a shrill cry of release, especially since I was indeed only one second from being just blame this sheet along with snake to the side. As I was later to my relief still learn, these were most likely a highly toxic Viper that a person brings in two bites almost certainly around the corner. Happy me five minutes and a snake photo later to find along the way, it went to the last meter in the direction "Bumbum Kubang", a small observation hut, which also serves as a place to stay for the few visitors who get lost here. I was now absolutely soaking wet from the inhuman and ungodly humidity and was looking forward very much to the upcoming supply of Chinese noodle soup, which was waiting in my backpack on their destruction.

The tea plantations of Cameron Highlands
The day after my Kletterabstecher was back on the agenda all-day transport. The aim was Penang, Malaysia. There I had made a fellow student contact to Melissa, who took us along with her roommate Astrid in the evening reception. The two do there is currently an intern and were happy to once again see his native language or to faces and hear. The extremely comfortable place to stay, in which the two are housed should be our camp for the next two days. So we spent a wonderful time in the former British colony of Georgetown and visited an imposing temple, Chinatown, shopping malls and what not else had seen. All this was rounded on by a total of very good food, good conversation and much much Industrieeis beach at night:) Thank you both at this point! The next day it was, however, already been back on to the Cameron Highlands. A 1500 meter high-altitude area, which is the incredible closeness eludes everywhere else in the country, and its special feature is the huge tea and strawberry plantations. A unique visual treat is to report on the surging plantations to look and absorb the rich and lush green formally always the spicy smell of tea plants in the nostrils. Marius and I were on the first day on a challenging trek through the jungle, which is available everywhere just does not want plantations. Although exhausting, it was still a beautiful day the intoxicating with its views and the fascinating jungle enthusiasts. Fully infected by jungle fever I grabbed some point a vine and swung it a round back and forth. After confirming the supposed stability of this suspension, I raised the difficulty level and the slope a few degrees and then attacked with full vigor in the vine. I would have probably been able to think before that happens. In any case, the Liana was in the middle of the flight path after a sudden and I crashed headfirst into the jungle thicket. No question that Marius broke down with laughter and not me less. In this sense, smiling greetings your Mowgli and Tarzan PS: There are photo updates of the sunsets in Ko Phangan.
Hoehlenklettern the beach
the climbing paradise of Tonsai Beach is Marius and my way have met again. Our happy reunion, we rewarded the same evening (barracuda was served) with a gourmet fish platter and a moderate, between, three, four beers:) The next day was addressed in line slowly, but should take a great course. how it should be the day of my maiden climbing and the same in the Mecca of rock trailer and Magnesiafinger. Marius, now a "village" known face, organized in no time the required equipment and then it could also go off already. First we had to walk around a bay, only to reach after 20 minutes beach walk to the rock tower that was to climb it in half. Hip belt buckled, Snap hooked, mounted head lamp, and then it went uphill. I must say, a really great feeling, so in the wall lights hängen.Unterhalb the turquoise sea, and his white beach and all around stand the bizarre rock formations of this area - simply brilliant, and certainly a highlight! Although the word highlight only half the truth. For "high" above, we were indeed so, but to the "light" it should be ordered from now on ill. It waited namely, a pitch-dark cave to us by which we had 20 minutes to squeeze armed with headlamps. The reward for this was phenomenal. Because at the other end we came to an absolutely beautiful dream beach, which is otherwise accessible only by boat. The cooling was a treat before we went before sunset on the way back.
