Moving On

It's time to say goodbye to hot, stinky, beautiful southeast asia. We have had a lovely time here with many entertaining stories and adventures. We are spending the day in Sandakan in Borneo. It's not the most beautful place we have been to and we don't feel all that safe. We did have a great hotel last night for cheap. It also had a rooftop restaurant where we had dinner and looked out over the ocean which was nice. We will be going back there after we're done computing for lunch since we feel a bit safer up there.

Yesterday we went to an orangutan rehabilitation centre where they have released orphaned orangutans back into the wild. They call them semi-wild because of that situation. They offer them food twice a day so we got to go to the first feeding. Apparently they often don't come get the food so we didn't have our hopes up. Thankfully, after about 10 minutse, a mother with her baby came and ate for quite a while. We were beginning to leave after waiting for about an hour, when another female who was pregnant came to eat some fruit. Just minutes after she came, another young female came as well. All in all, we saw 4! Definitly better than seeing none at all. They are quite amazing creatures.

Tonight we will fly back to Kuala Lumpur where we will stay for the night. Tomorrow morning we are going to the famous Petronas towers (the twin towers of asia) than will head back to the airport to fly to Singapore, than on to Munich. Once we arrive in Munich we fly straight to Venice where we will stay for 3 days before making our way down to Rome. I have been to Venice before and I am so excited to go back and explore some more.

We're so blessed to have had a great time on our holiday so far. The weather has been great and we've experienced so much in such little time.

Now its time to move on to our next adventure.... Europe!
