maliau basin

30 oct 2009

so many people have been talking about maliau..i really have made decision to visit this place...coincidentally there was a driver who said he could bring us there..so this trip just on..

the night before saturday was having heavy rain..i couldn't sleep at all..was thinking how about the trip..fortunately we were able to make it also...

we departed at 6 in the morning...reached there about 830am..but we were blocked in front of the gate..stupid guard there saying that no one layan us as there are VIP coming the nexy day..i got so angry and asked that fellow to connect me to the admin in the forest...this was the first time i was using walkie talkie..by hook, o by cook..i still wanted to enter the forest...at the end,she had no way and terpaksa let us in...


this is the front gate..we had to lapor diri and only can go in after paying rm15 for the permit..


this is the gallery muzium..inside has lots of illustration about maliau..
