My original plan of the Australian outback got pushed up by a day since it's the end of the dry season and I didn't have many options in terms of signing up for a tour. I also had to reverse my route from Broome to Darwin, thus missing out on Kakadu National Park. It also means my visit to the Orang Utan Sanctuary in Sepilok need to be canceled. Unfortunately I had already paid for my flight and hotel in Sepilok, so it'll be a quick trip to the Borneo jungle. Essentially I had few hours in Sepilok and my options were limited...a night jungle walk around the Sepilok Jungle Resort or nothing. I really wanted to see the Orang Utans but a jungle walk at night with snakes, bats, birds and leeches should provide plenty of excitement.

Tomorrow, I'll be flying for 20+ hours on three AirAsia flights - Borneo to Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Lumpur to Bali, Bali to Darwin - of course, since AirAsia is a point-to-point airline, I'll need to drop-off/pick-up my bags three times during the course of the my journey. Ugh...I'm too old (and spoiled) to be flying discount airlines! What was I thinking?
Next stop...Western Australia.
