Already at Part 2 and I haven't even reach the base camp. I must learn to be brief and succinct. And Blogspot is sucha bitch at uploading photos.
Reached the first falls enroute to base camp. had to climb a thousand stairs before we start trekking.
Jealous lover found her partner taking photo with pageant contestant and ran amok.
Nice view already
Alvin packing up the remnants of Iris' bag. She was having problems with her back so the guys in our groups split up her load, kind hearted souls we are.
Bandanna girl and friend. No I still dunno their names.
Ws and Earnest. On trial for Dabong Football Club.
After around 2 hours, we reached our base camp, Baha's Camp.
The local guides live here, in wooden huts, in the embrace of nature. They lug whatever necessities they need up the mountain a couple times a week. The base camp actually leads not only to the summit of Gunung Stong, but also to a few other peaks such as Gunung Ayam and.. Gunung whatever..
Finally we reached the viewing gallery.. nice.. damn nice.
Gravity proved too strong for Alda and she tumbles over the cliff but luckily my camera managed to capture the moment.
Alvin, who was nearer, took a photo before helping her up.
Love...
Quickly take more photos before the other groups arrive
The walking advertisement for X-Physique.
Johan is a brave man. If i'm that tall I'll think twice about standing there like that.. it's really a long way down.
real clouds
I think this is really funnie.
And this has got to be the highlight of the trip.. Sliding down from the waterfalls a few storeys high.. awesome. and the speed at which you slide down was a bit scary.
This is what we did..
This is how the guides did it.. bloody cool.
pitching our tents.. couldn't figure out how to set up the rain cover. Never never throw away the instruction manuals.
Dinner time.. cooked pasta with some sausages and stuff.. pretty nice, but sadly it's nothing much compared to what other groups cooked. teriyaki chicken? .. sinful.
Happy faces. camping and outdoor cooking beside gushes of waterfalls.. blissful .. till you feel like shitting.
