Borneo Resort Cont...

The strangest thing about this resort is the waterpark. The resort itself is nestled in the rainforest and is so natural in its setting. So to see a waterpark up in the hills of the rainforest was a suprise. But what a great time we had playing in it. The speed slides were so fast that it left your bathing suit in crevices where it shouldn't be! The greatest memory I have is floating in the pool while heaven rained heavily on us. The boys thoroughly wore themselves out!

After a great sleep we had the morning to try some more of the activities available at the resort. The boys wanted to try the Flying Fox. There are many other things that you can try like mountain biking, absailing, rock climbing, archery, kayaking, and much more. We each had a couple of tries at the zipline. It was fun had by all. We had a quick lunch and then hit the road for the drive home. While on the drive home we spotted a turtle about the size of an adults head. He was trying to cross the highway, but nearly was smooshed by an oncoming car. So we pulled our car to the side of the road and started the rescue mission. We hurried him along the road to safety and had a closer look at him. The neat thing about this turtle was when it was scared it pulled his entire body into his shell into an enclosed case. I always thought that turtles pulled there heads slightly in when they were threatened. This turtle was like a football, totally enclosed. The boys were quite excited to hold a real turtle. We had a great fun filled night away!
