Day Forty Seven - Hanging with the orangutans

Travelleing through the Sarawak, one of the two Malaysian districts on the island of Borneo we finally got to see the orangutans in the conservation areas.

According to my travel guide http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarawak
"Sarawak has more than 40 ethnic groups, each with their own distinct language, culture and lifestyle. Cities and larger towns are populated predominantly by Malays, Melanaus, Chinese, and a smaller percentage of Ibans and Bidayuhs who have migrated from their home-villages for employment reasons. Sarawak is rather distinctive from the rest of Malaysia in that there is only a small community of Indians living in the state. "
We covered 444 miles in total - unfortunately my map doesn't tell me where we are at the moment.....
