Then, we went to a small stream but we couldn't find the fish that
we're looking for. Apparently,
the information that we gathered
was invalid.
The rocky riverbed.
This is one of the most
common fishes from western
Borneo, Rasbora sarawakensis.
Hoya & Club moss.
A floating toilet at Kapuas
river.
Before dark, we managed to
visit a small nursery which got
a lot of interesting
plants....some of them are
endemic to Kalimantan Barat!
Nepenthes clipeata !!!
This pitcher plant is endemic to
Kalimantan Barat!!!
The pitcher is growing from a
tendril on the underside of the
leaf.
Very beautiful pitcher of
Nepenthes clipeata !!!
A natural cross hybrid of
pitcher plant:
Alocasia regina ,
endemic to Kalimantan Barat
too!!!
Slipper orchid,
Paphiopedilum hookerae
Phalaenopsis sp.
(orchid)
On the way back to our hotel,
our guide told us the story of
civil war between Madurese &
Dayak in Borneo. The story was
horrible, so I prefer not to
write it out. If you want to
know, check out this link:
