Tuesday With Azmi (& Orang Utans!)

"We're Tuesday people." Strangers on land but not on the waters!

"Without love, we are birds with broken wings."


Yesterday on a fine Tuesday day, Azmi and Juri took care of our guests from Australia (Sharon,Phillip, Ellanie, Isabelle, Idoia & James) and the UK (Persephone and John from London) with a fun filled day of kayaking at Borneo Highlands followed by a visit to the Semengoh Wildlife Rehabilitation Center to look at the orang utans at feeding time in the afternoon.Human-utans!

"Don't let go too soon, but don't hang on too long."

Azmi took all the great photos here (and I cleverly arranged them into a montage) and they looked like they had fun and so did the orang utan! It's not exactly "Tuesdays with Morrie" but a day on the waters and later spent in the company of 'monkeys' do offer some lessons on life. Ah, well. Kayaking anyone?Ritchie the BIGGEST orang-utan at the sanctuary - do you wanna argue over that with him?
