Gunung Gading National Park

After my paediatrics exam last week, i spent a superb weekend in Gunung Gading National Park! Just in case you don't know where it is, it is at the South Borneo, a place called Lundu in Sarawak. Reached there early in the morning in our 'little Black', the name of our Savvy my sister-in law gave, we were fortunate enough to get a room as the rest of them were all fully booked!!

Corridor leading into our room... For your information, the room was only RM40 with 2 double-decker in it!! Surprising right? it's cheap. and at the far end, there were well-equipped kitchen and dining table for you. (In fact, we bought some fresh seafood in the town which was only about 10 minutes away and made our dinner here.)

Yes, this was our room, Room 2!!!

Posing with my sister-in law on the double-decker :>

We were lucky enough to find 2 full- bloomed Rafflesia, the world's largest flower though August is not the season for it (the blooming season is from November to January).

A closer look at it, for me, it looked like pizza! ;>

Its interior look....

From the superior posterolateral of it.... Its flower bud was just like a cabbage. And the blooming period for each flower is only 7 days...

Luckily to have seen this once in a blue moon flower, we climbed up the cliff!! To the right of me were 2 of the "cabbages" awaiting for blooming after their 9-month nurturing.

We ordered ourselves some crabs and other type of seafood in Lundu town for our lunch as it is a popular place for seafood :>
