Raimie; Jln Kebangsaan; 30/08/06







This time, the experience was extra exciting, extra fun and the most importantly, extra challenging!! The scenery before entering the jungle was quite scary. Then, when we were about to go inside, we encountered a very steep hill, where we had to climb down very slowly. The ground was damp and slippery due to the rain. There were lots of trees, ferns, pandan, lianas, mosses and mushrooms. I was really fascinated with this one blue, shiny, flower-like mushroom that was sticking on the side of a fallen branch. The ground was really covered with fallen leaves and branches. There were also fallen trees that sometimes, blocked our way. So we had to be very careful walking through the jungle. Again, no animals in sight. Just the sounds of insects and birds from the distant. Furthermore, we had to cross a stream, which felt really nice and cold. We had to be really cautious as the 'bridge' was slippery. Moreover, we came across a land of ferns, so we had to put our arms up to avoid from the sharp edges of the ferns. With all those great experiences, I rated this visit 8/10. To me, the environment was really, really 'two-thumbs up', even though few portions of the land were seen destructed by man. Well, at least, they were replaced by ferns, which I had been told, can be used as medicinal herbs.

I would not mind to come back here again...
