Part two of my time in Borneo brought Erika and me to Mulu National Park, deep in the ancient rain forest of Borneo. Here we spent a few days exploring the rain forest, getting to see some really incredible insects and plants. We also explored the vast cave system that Mulu is so well known for. Our accomodations were a part of the hotel the national park runs.

On our first day, we spent it mostly relaxing and taking a walk through the trails in the rain forest. Here you really appreciate just how dense the jungle is and the variety of life.

Day two we explored Cave of the Winds, with thin stalagtites and stalagmites. It gets the name because when it is sunny, the pressure difference creates a strong wind that blows through the cave due to a large hole in the top.

The formations look truly other worldly.

Not a great picture, because the light is so bad in the caves, but this reminded me of a fist.

We then left this cave to head to the Clearwater cave. Here is a massive cave with an incredibly clear river flowing through it.
