I didn’t need an alarm clock this morning, I awoke to a chorus of cooing and whoops and cooing. At times it sounded like an infant and at other times, it sounded like a bird. It was a little bizarre, sometimes a solo and other times a chorus. I peeked out of my tent thinking I had to be able to see something but all I could see was that lake and the jungle and it seemed like the noise was coming from all directions. Later that morning the guide told me that it was the gibbons who sing each morning before the dawn and that the sounds they make can travel up to 2 miles.
After breakfast we tagged along with our guide on a kayaking tour. There was a total of three kayaks who went along with the guide. He pointed out monkeys, squirrels, snakes and lizards. In addition, I finally got the hang of kayaking and didn’t steer our kayak into any branches.
After lunch we were put back onto a boat to head back. It was a wonderful experience but would have been better if it had lasted a little longer!
