"We deeply regret any disturbance during the fumigation."
Upon entering Borneo we were informed of an inflight fumigation with an announcement. They said we could cover our nose and mouth if we felt necessary and then delivered the line above. We were off to a great start.
Did you know that Borneo is the third largest island in the world? Neither did I! Can you guess the other two?

Visiting the Malaysian side of Borneo would take us to Sepilok to see the Orangutan Rehabilitation Center and then to the Kinabatangan River in hopes of seeing them in their natural habitat. We really wanted to see these great apes!
At the rehabilitation center in Sepilok they take in injured, sick, or orphaned orangutans to prepare them to re-enter the wild. The orangutans we would be seeing are semi-wild as they live in the wild, but are still reliant at times on the rehabilitation center for added sustenance, aka food.
Orangutans are generally not very social and primarily live individually and only are social during mating and fruit season. At the rehabilitation center they are generally showing up for the fruits, but won't always be there during fruit season as the forest provides more than enough.
After visiting Sepilok we would head to the Kinabatangan River. There we would do some cruises to see the flora and fauna of the area. I am hoping to include the Orangutan we saw in the wild when I update this post, but have not haven't had the chance to upload the photos yet.
At the mall in Sandakan where we stayed before heading to the Philippines I saw a Kenny Rogers Roasters and immediately thought of the Seinfeld episode. I also learned I saw one of their 156 fine establishments worldwide.
