Ride on the Bamboo Raft

It was almost noon when we finished our elephant ride. Yu Pin met up with us and guided us to the nearby restaurant where we were having lunch. We were obviously very hungry.

The food spread looked good but we were not sure if it was halal. There was vege...well...of course that we could eat. There was also a dish which looked like "masak lemak". But we were not sure what meat was it. Looking around, we saw the "Bismillah" phrase on one of the walls. Our next question was...could the operator be a muslim??

One of us went to ask if the food was halal..and wallahh....the guy behind the kitchen counter said "Yes". Good for us...now that our conscience is clear...we were free to try out the food.

I guess when you are hungry...whatever that's served would be good.

We had a good lunch that day.

After lunch...off to another ride. This time it was the bamboo raft ride. All four of us sat on this raft made of bamboo and followed the river to its downstream.

Our raft was paddled by a father and son team. The old man in front had no front teeth while the son had his hair coloured blonde!! Highly fashionable for a hillbilly eh??


Muni and I then took turns to paddle the raft. Ha..ha..it wasn't that difficult. Kind of enjoyable..if only the sun was not blazing down directly.

Check out our gaya...nampak macam best je kan??? Action je...

Interesting finds along the river bank.

Roots all over

Longan trees

Small waterfall

This is how you cool off!!

Crane is used to carry rafts back upstream
