jungle trekking


this is a bug we found on the way the the Cameron highlands. it was huge but it was almost dead.

 
this is a pic. of the hill side on the way tho our hotel. there was row after row of tea and strawberries.





this was our driver on this tour we went on to see the worlds second biggest flower and the this aboriginal village. it was a lot of fun because i got to try to shoot a blow gun. surprisingly i almost hit the bulls eye on my first try.

this is part of the road up to the flower. it was one of the better parts.





that is a bridge we had to walk across to get to the flower.
here is a bug we found along the way.





lots of the trail was eroded away by rain water and floods.




we had to cross a river half way there. it was freezing cold.





and hear it is the flower we all wanted to see. it was so big i almost thought it was fake.




most flowers smell good but not this one. one way to describe the smell would to say it smells like a public toilet out side a Mexican restaurant.




like i said before i got to try the blow gun and i almost hit the bulls eye.


on the way back we stopped at a strawberry farm and i got a strawberry shake. it was very good.

  2. What is the name of the flower and was there only one? How long does it last? We know how the Mexican toilets smell so we wouldn't want a bouquet of them!! Love Granma & Gramdpa
