21st trip to Bintulu (24,000 km achieved)

From inside the car, Inul saw this baby monkey.



On the 4th of April, we took to the highway early. As usual the whole journey took approximately 10 hours. It was sunny for the most part of the journey. Heavy rains were met from Sibu to Bintulu.
With this 21st trip to Bintulu, our travelling record tied a notch higher i.e. 24000 km. Here are some pictures of the journey.
Inset : Me and Mama taking naps along the way.
At the Sibu central market and from inside the car I watched fospa as he walked around the jungle produce market to see any strange plants, fruits etc.. But what intrigued him ( and Me) was a tiny monkey which was brought to market by one of the traders . The tiny baby was shown around the market. No, it was not for sale. The baby monkey was made a companion by one of the jungle produce traders there.
A busy street adjacent to the market .

We encountered rain for about 3 hours of the journey. A typical sight along the Pan-Borneo Highway.
On this trip we made a pit stop at Betong for refuelling and a late lunch. There we saw these two stray cats.
Finally, at around 7.30 pm we arrived Bintulu.


Remember me, Inul?
