First day of jungle trekking

Today was our first day in the wild, and it was a good one. We left about 8:30 and walked through a rubber plantation to get to the jungle. We saw monkeys all day - Thomas leaf monkeys, long tailed Macau (? On spelling), pig tailed Macau, some gibbons from a distance. After about an hour we saw our first orangutan, it was a momma with her baby high up in the trees. Quite the sight to see the baby playing. 

The babies stay with the mother until they are 8 or so and this one was older. We continued to trek and saw another one high up, then we saw a mamma with a younger baby up close. We started to make lunch and she showed up, so our guide packed up quickly. He didn't get all the cucumber peels up but she was happy to help clean up. This one seemed somewhat tame and almost posed for pictures. Birds continue to be elusive but we are hearing hornbills just not seeing them.

We Trekked for several more hours until we got to our camp. It's semi permanent, and while not comfortable it will do.

Our guide, Udin, is definitely our favorite guide yet.
