Borneo - The Hotel

In order to break from the tedium of a Melbourne winter, we decided to embark on an adventure through the jungles of darkest Borneo - facing headhunters, wild animals and independent malitia. Then this idea fell through, so we ended up at a Five-Star resort, the Shangri-La Rasa Ria, on the island of Borneo. We also spent two nights in the capital of malaysia, Kuala Lumpur.

A typical Rasa Ria path. These photos are really difficult to caption... Sorry, in truth there really wasn't that much to photograph.

The Orangutan is the closest species to a human being. Significantly closer, in fact, than most AFL Footballers.

The hotel from the front... I think the front is more practical than pretty.

The lobby. Lighting makes it look a little dingy, but there is a massive raised roof in the centre, making it a really nice area. Overlooking the beach, too.

Another pool/palm/umbrella photo

Yay! Sunset again. The ironic thing was that the best sunset was the one on the first night, when no one had their cameras handy. Oh well, it was "the one that got away". Again, click for biggie.
