Had to get up quite early again today
- to make sure I got breakfast
- to get the boat back to Jerantut
so after packing all my stuff up, I took a final look about the chalet and whilst I was out on the veranda, I looked up to the rafters to see a rather sinister looking family of bats! That explained some of the nocturnal noises I heard last night and the night before…I met up it the other, handed my (final) ticket to get on the boat and off we went back down the river – this time we were going with the currents, so it was slightly faster than the journey here (3 hours rather than 4); the advantage here was also the fact that if we conked out again, at least we’d eventually end up at the pick up place in Jerantut!
Except, of course, if you run aground.
Which we did, so the men (women were not allowed to get out of the boat) had to get out and push the boat off the mud bank that we had landed on, getting soaked again… We finally made it back, for our final lunch stop (chicken rice, bleh) and then the coach back to Chinatown.
I’d had a really good time, and was really pleased that the other people on this trip were normal, making it that much more enjoyable. Time to book my next excursion...
