Floating Market - Banjarmasin

11th November, 2011

Take two - Breakfast at the 'Floating Market' in Banjarmasin

The alarm went off at 5am and although I felt shocking, I forced myself to get up. I headed out onto the street, in the dark, on a mission to find/get to the floating market!

The alarm went off at 5am, although I had to press snooze a few times before I could actually surface! The plan was to go to the floating market, although I had no idea which one, as there are several! I also had no idea where to go or how to get there! This was going to be interesting! ;) 

Heading to Banjarmasin

9th November, 2011

Woke up early again!!! Aduh...what is going on? Me...who loves to sleep-in, is now on holidays and in the habit of waking up at 5 - 5.30am!!! This is crazy!

But I enjoyed hanging out in my luxury hotel room and watching Indo TV! hehehee...

I checked out of my hotel at 12pm and headed to the airport for my Trigana Air flight at 1.40pm Pangkalan Bun to Banjarmasin. I was ready for the next leg of my adventure! I had no idea what to expect of Banjarmasin!

Tanjung Puting National Park - Day 5

8th November 2011

Woke early, as usual, and watched the hornbills flying around. They were too quick to get a photo of but it was amazing to just sit and watch them. And I continued to watch them as I had my breakfast of coffee and omelette, and daydreamed about what the day ahead may bring.

Tanjung Puting National Park - Day 3

6th November, 2011


I woke early again, after a super good sleep. I woke to the sounds of the gibbons call and also the hornbills. The spot where we stopped for the night, just outside of Camp Leakey, was really beautiful! It was amazing to see the hornbills gliding through the air. So graceful and peaceful! The early mornings were trully stunning!

Tanjung Puting National Park - Day 2

5th November 2011

I woke really early in the morning, I'd had a restless sleep...heard strange noises in the night and imagined that there were Proboscis monkeys climbing onto the klotok! Do you think my imagination may have been working over time during my first night sleeping on an open deck of a boat in the middle of the jungle..??? Hmmm...
