Borneo is the 3rd
largest island in the world and divided amongst 3 countries, Brunei (the North
Western region), Malaysia (northern region) and Indonesia (73%).
We docked at the port of
Sandakan and were greeted with traditional dancers and then went to the Sepilok Forest Reserve Sun Bear and Orang-utan
Park.
We saw the Sun Bears located
in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation centre from platforms high above the
forest floor then walked to see the Orang-utans Rehabilitation Centre.
This is
the 3rd stage of the rehabilitation process where the orphaned and
injured Orang Utans are bought to before eventually being returned to forest
life.
Before returning to the ship, we visited a city market that didn’t impress anyone.
We then sailed South down the Makassar Strait
