Borneo adventure

I love a family adventure.... I mean, let's be honest, travelling with a rambunctious toddler in the far flung parts of the planet is not quite the same as when you're travelling on your own.  You can't take the same risks and there are things like killer ants and venomous snakes to factor in.  But there's a lot you can do in the wild, as our intrepid son Solo taught us recently in Borneo.

Check out my short video here (1 minute):

 



The Kinabatangan River in eastern Sabah is on the Malaysian part of the island of Borneo.  Getting there is half the adventure.  The small town of Sandakan is a 40 minute flight from Kota Kinabalu, after a 2 and a half hour flight from our new home in Singapore. It takes a couple of hours of driving on decent tar roads from there to reach the village of Sukau, and from there it was another 10 minutes in a small speed boat to our lodge on the river.
