(^84) JC Resort – Sepilok Orang-Utan Centre - 30km
The traffic was no better than the previous day, and the ride was physically and
mentally tiring - I was off the tarmac more than on it. Trucks kept flying by in
both directions, making cycling downright dangerous. Thirty kilometres further
I encountered the turn-off to the Sepilok Orang-Utan Centre and was relieved
to get off the main road.
There were various accommodation types beyond the turn-off, one being the
popular Uncle Tan's. I needed no second invitation and off-loaded the bicycle
and was soon swinging in a hammock in the shade of a colossal mango tree - I
was exhausted. The bungalow was quite costly, but the price included three
meals; a good thing too as there were no shops nearby.
The following day, I visited the orangutan centre and spent the remainder of
the day at leisure. Again, Uncle Tan's was the perfect place to unwind as it
came with a beautiful jungle setting and plenty of open space to roam or swing
in a hammock.
