This morning our German trekking companions decided to leave and head back to Ketambe. An infected bee sting and a fever led to their decision to abandon the trek.
After our early morning dip in the river and breakfast, we headed off in search of orangutans. It wasn't long before we found our first and then another, followed by another 2! We watched each for a while, especially the large male.
Lunch was served back at camp and we had our final cold water shower in the waterfall.
The porters packed up our tents, cleared the cooking area and we all headed out of the jungle. It took about an hour to reach the road and we arrived back at the guesthouse 30 minutes later. We said goodbye to our guides and porters who produced little sandalwood carvings for us as momentos ...
In the evening we chatted to the German Trekkers and a couple from Holland, who we had met earlier in Sumatra. Next, bed!
