Yep, it truly is. We wake up in the morning and sit on our veranda and watch the jungle wake up. We see the odd movements of the black monkeys in the distance watch the bats finish there night of activity and hear the awakening calls of the birds. In the short distance you can hear the waves on yet another sandy beach.

 The jungle hut is very pleasant. It is a two storey hut on stilts. We have two 42 inch TV’s, one in the lounge downstairs and the other at the end of the bed. No TV stations, however a huge collection of DVD’s that we can access. On the veranda we can sip wine from the minibar or take a dip in the jacuzzi plunge pool. It is a truly glorious environment. They have just fixed the 56K Internet access so I will not try to upload the video we created.

We walk down wooden walkways to the restaraunts. This means you avoid the unpleasant things about jungles … like leaches. There is one restaraunt on the beach and another at the end of a pier like structure which is sitting in the sea. As we walked across there last night there was a family of black tipped sharks swimming beneath us. I think they are fairly harmless! Or is it the white tipped that are harmless? We were swimming in the same waters earlier in the day……

The lovely thing about this hotel and the previous ones is that there seems to be so few people here. You almost seem to have it to yourself.

We have only one more full day here(today). Tomorrow afternoon we are back to KL and then back to Birmingham on the following day.
