To document our trip of discovery that has been greatly motivated by the diversity of food available and to sample a totally different culture to the one we are used to. This has been made entirely possible thanks to GOV.UK sending me State Pension payments :-). Also the countless hours Hazel has spent on the web researching destinations and booking flights, accommodation and tours

Sepilok - Orang Utang Sanctuary
We stopped the following day around the pool at the hotel in Sandakan as a day’s relax after the time spent in the big city. Monday morning we were picked up @ 8am to take us to the rain forest. First stop was the Orang Utang sanctuary at Sepilok where orphaned orang utangs are taught the rudiments of life to prepare them for return to the wild. Normally they are with their mothers for 6 / 7 years and then they separate for ever. This one, Rosa, cam out of the forest and walked along the side rail and guided us to the day centre where we were treated to such antics as this, proving their skills
