Resting and Packing
Sunday is officially a rest day for all of us.
What was left of the morning after the party had finally wound up was spent sleeping.
Today Nick, Vicky and I (Group 1) have to bag up the things we will need for the next 9 days at Rasa Ria. The rest of the stuff we can leave locked in our room ready for when we get back.
We might also be able to see another Orangutan feeding session at 3pm if we put on our green work shirts... :-)
We have finally found out from Albert what the arrangements for us are to be at Rasa Ria:
We are no longer going to be in the staff quarters on site but instead will be put up in a staff dorm room about 10-15 minutes bike ride away from the main complex. Yes, i said bike ride - LOL!!!
Because we will need to start work before the shuttle bus picks the other staff up they have hired us cycles to use. If we want any breakfast before work we will need to cycle into Rasa Ria by about 6.30am and then eat at the staff kitchen there, before starting work at 7am. Lunch will be at the Coffee House on site and our evening meals can be taken at a cafe near our accomodation.
Can't wait to get started.....
BTW We need to fly from Sandakan to KK very early tomorrow morning and i'm not expecting to be able to update the blog again until probably Wednesday now...
