Suspension Bridges and Naomi

Canopy Walk

Kiulu River

Another bridge!

I can hardly believe that this is the last day of Naomi's three week visit to Sabah. She has had a "taste" of lots of different things that nearly could become a series of books to rival Martine...Naomi goes scuba diving, Naomi goes cycling, Naomi goes into the Jungle, Naomi goes white water rafting etc.....She spent the last few at the Tip of Borneo, relaxing and working on her tan and I joined her on Friday evening after driving through three landslides and a flooded river and we spent a nice relaxing Saturday at the longhouse before leaving early Sunday morning to go white water rafting on the Kiulu River. On Friday there was a huge rainstorm and I've never seen the rivers so high but by Sunday the river level had dropped but it was still flowing very fast and the rapids were much more exciting than the previous time I had done it.

 The strange thing about each of my children coming out to visit me is that we're not used to spending long stretches of time being only the two of us. With five children in a family there is usually at least one other around so it has been a new experience for us all. They may well all be coming back and saying to each other that it was a nightmare being with their mother for so long but I would just like them to know that for me it has  been a joy and pleasure to see them as such interesting, funny and intelligent adults that I am very happy to spend time with. I love you and I'll miss you Naomi.
