We were sad to leave this morning, after breakfast and a last scope through the trees to spot any monkeys jumping about we headed off on foot down to the village where we were getting the minivan back to medan. There are only two places in the world to see Orangutans in their natural habitat; here in North Sumatra and Borneo, Malaysia. Apparently the best place to see them is in North Sumatra because they are protected here in national parks and the wild; in 20...

Scott got up early this morning and went out on the hammock, I couldn't open my eyes so I had an extra hour in bed but turns out I missed watching the monkeys play in the trees.

I let them know my frustration of waking us up by huffing and puffin and shouting 'shut up'.
