We reached Krokong, Bau after 45 minutes drive from Kuching (it is located somewhere nearby the Wind Caves and Fairy Caves in Bau). The colourful bright orange and yellow tandem kayak was unloaded from the CRV and carried down to the river - Sg Sarawak Kanan.
Our beautiful two seated bright orange and yellow tandem kayak.. I wore and fastened the life jackets and kept my camera and handphone securely inside a water proof container. I was briefed on how to handle the paddle before we started our journey. Very soon, I was paddling in the river ;)
After few minutes in the river, I manage to get the hang of the correct way to paddle the kayak. It was fun paddling along the river, enjoying the calm and serene scene of the rainforest with breath taking scenery. Something that we won't encounter frequently.
We noticed 3 durians on the riverbank along the way. Hahaha, what a lucky day :P We stopped paddling and picked up 2 of the jungle durians (to carry along inside our kayak for consumption later).
I really had a good time admiring the beauty of mother nature, listening to the sounds of insects and wildlife, looking at the greens and listening to the trickling water sound while paddling the vividly coloured kayak.
Fantastic rocks which rocks !!
Mini Cave. We kay poh and paddled inside the mini cave to have a look...
It's a dead-end cave.
I even touched the wall of the cave.. ;)
We stopped by for a brief duration nearby the zoo in Bau (if not mistaken, the construction was still in progress). We climbed up the slope to have a peek at the zoo. Apparently the zoo was still quite empty..
This was the only animal we spotted inside the zoo - Emu. We continued on with our kayaking adventure...To be continued.....
