Woke up bright and early the next day for buffet breakfast, and for jungle trekking! We were so worried that they would cancel the trip because we were the only ones who were interested. but no....the guide was already waiting near our chalet for us; we didn't even have to walk all the way to the reception to meet him. 1 upz!
We cut through the golf course, walked up a winding path, to the start of the jungle. And i was already perspiring badly. haha, the guide was doing reaching exercises, so i consoled myself that i was not the only weak one.
The trek through the rainforest was cool....we saw bouldering, latex trees, geekos, crabs, porcupine nest, jasmine flowers, really big trees, cool intricate spider webs....luckily not a snake. and there are snakes.....The mosquitoes were merciless, but Nigel mercifully loaned me some cigarettes to chase them away. and of course, he now has a photo of a quit smoking consultant holding a lit cigarette....the embarrassment....sigh.
All the effort and sweat and drenched t-shirts were worth it when we finally reached the waterfall. it's not big....we were surprise when we stopped in a clearing and the guide said "here we are". i was like...okaayy....it's really untouched. and we happily took lots of photos. well, nigel took lots of photos because i prefered the cold water and he preferred to....look around. the waterfall was really worth the whole trip to Tioman. so happy for myself. that we don't get freaked out by spiders, and chamelons and bees...
