Today we visited the Fairy (pics below) and Wind Caves. Both were epic sights and rife with wildlife: bats, swiftlets, crickets, spiders, and geckos.
For dinner we went to downtown Kuching. Some of us went to Top Spot, a local favorite for family-style seafood (see pic below), and some went to a snazzy downtown bistro. Afterwards, we did some overdue souvenir shopping along the Sarawak River.

Tomorrow we fly from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah (still in Malaysia). There we'll make our way to the Mile 36 Lodge in Kundasang. The hotel is near Kinabalu Park, one of the first national parks of Malaysia and the country's first UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most importantly, Kinabalu Park is home to 4 climate zones (we'll be mostly in the lowland dipterocarp forest) with many endemic species of birds, mammals, plants, and even earthworms and leeches!
We'll stay at the Mile 46 Lodge for 2 nights (12 & 13). We will leave Kundasang early on the 14th to go snorkeling in Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park and spend our last night of the program at the Shangri-La Hotel in downtown Kota Kinabalu. I can't believe it's almost over!
