The ride with the boat took quite a while and it was nice to observe the shore, the jungle and how the driver had to put quite some effort to find the deepest paths through the river to not touch the ground.

The restaurants at the heart of the tourist area were mostly on floating platforms.

Together we went to the Batu Caves, the same attraction we went with Rackis brother before. But again it was nice. And this time the big golden statue was revealed again and was very impressive and beautiful.

Moni is vegan and we were quite positive that it would be possible to get something to eat for her in the restaurants. And it turned out that it was super easy and right the first restaurant had plenty of vegan meals 馃コ
