( 11/8/97 ) Monday...................Clear Kuala Keniam. About 2 hours of morning boat ride upriver, chilly cold! PERHILITAN operates some lodges there, whereas the rest of the accommodation is managed by the Taman Negara Resort. From Kuala Keniam, about 2 hours exhausting trek, reached Gua Luas finally! So impressed to see the formation of the cave. 15 minutes more to Gua Daun Menari, why not?! Wow!...it looks exactly like how it's described at the Interpretive Centre - "a wind blows gently from the mouth of this large chamber, fluttering the leaves at the cave entrance, but the openings responsible are hidden from view high in the cave roof....." I just couldn't resist to climb up into this cave. "Gii.......Gii....." bats flying over my head, and what I'm standing on is actually centimetres thick of bat droppings!! Cockroaches, large spiders, others god-knows-what insects, all scuttle on the cave floor. And there, a long white snake disengages its jaws swallowing a bat!! Feeling as if I'm in the Indiana Jones movie!! Didn't stay overnight at Kuala Keniam. Back to Park Headquarters in the late evening.
