MEMORIAL DAY IN BORNEO

May 26th, 2009

Not Cannes or St. Tropez this year, but the island of Borneo!! This mythical island with stories of headhunters and explorers is a land of very rich diversity and we are in the North of it, the Malaysian state of Sabah.

We landed in Kota Kinabalu and went to the island of Pulau Tiga, where after a swim in the warm ocean, we went on a walk in a lovely forest full of monkeys. At the top we found a natural bubbling mud bath where I made a mask for myself.

Sunday we went to the local market of Papar and drove to the Crocker Natural Park. There we went on a very hard hike where the danger was to be attacked by leeches. Sure enough, some of us got bitten!! A helicopter ride of one hour took us to the center of Sabah, in the Maliau Basin we went down to the river and its beautiful waterfalls. The water was a bit red, but Christian and I jumped into the water and it felt great!!
