Well if you haven't yet earned your title of 'queen of adventure' yet Lou, you certainly have now. This, as well as queen of adventure writing. This is another stunning piece. I totally agree that you learn so much when you live in a country rather than being a tourist. Thank you for taking me to that part of the world with your beautiful images and descriptions.
Thanks Kerry. The love of adventure is probably why Iām heading up to the cold Central highlands of Tasmania today to take non-violent action in the fight to stop native forest logging, plus I love the bush like I love the jungle.
Lou, you have captured the jungle so well. I could nearly smell it. Glad you avoided the leeches this time. I can remember vividly peeling off a blood soaked sock after a trek in search of an elusive corpse flower!
I love to read your writing Lou! I was there with you. And, youāre so adventurous. Your reflections on your time teaching there are fascinating. It must have been very intense & only suitable for a particular type of person - a brave & adventurous one!
Gosh what an experience Lou and I loved the way you wove both your earlier time in Borneo with your recent trip there. Rain, intense heat, crocodiles, jungle. Yikes!

The pain for the gain. š©ø š
What a trip. And how wonderful to go back and be just as excited and enthralled as when you were first there.
Yes I was surprised how connected I felt. Familiarity does not breed contempt. š

Mmmm. I did become a bit addicted to adventure. Lucky thereās a bit more to seek out. š

Thanks Lee. Yes it was still an adventure.
Lou once more youāve taken us into your life. What joy, such adventure. I cold feel the heat and sweat and see what you described.
Thanks Claire. It was a bit of a trip back to the past- a reminiscence, yet at the same time it was totally different.
Great read. You certainly captured the adventure of the jungle. Fabulous to be able to revisit.
