Life on the Kinabatangan River

This is the kitchen and dining room overlooking the Kinabatangan River for guests at the Sukau River Homestay in Subah, Malaysia, where I spent the last three nights boating and hiking in search of wildlife in the Borneo jungle. Homestay owner/operator and family matriarch Marie Amit is feeding the chickens and ducks.  I'm still looking for orangutans, though. Rainy weather  -- it's the rainy season -- probably kept them in their nests, I'm told. But plenty of monkeys, snakes, crocodiles, bugs and birds about. And it's OK about the orangutans. I've got plenty of time.
