I thought it was a 3 days 2 nights trip? Yeah it was. When the briefing was done the night before, we were asked if we’re on the 3D/2N package or just staying the night. That thought stuck with me, and I contemplated just staying for the night. They asked me why, and I told them that I was not a big huge enormous fan of wildlife, and that I think would have seen enough, if I spent two days in the jungle. They would be able to arrange for a refund, so I thought that it’d be okay. I left the decision till the next day though, after the morning safari.

And I decided to leave. Quick, ask me why!

Cause I couldn’t stand not having clean clear water to brush my teeth and wash my face in the morning. Look at this picture.

That’s the view out of the camp into the river. See what colour the water is? Might not be so clear, but that’s precisely the point! That’s the water that I used in the morning to wash my face and brush my teeth! I guess my breaking point was that I couldn’t survive without water that I could at least see through. The water supply for the toilets and sinks are pumped directly from the river. Who knows .. my toothpaste isn’t exactly the only thing that I am brushing my teeth with. Could have been crocodile POOP, for all I know, right?

Sigh. Guess I am not as kampung boy as I thought I was.
