Finally arrived at Dabong after some 11-odd hours. Felt a strange kind of relief that we’ve finally reached our destination (near). For breakfast, I had the boring Mee Goreng plus pieces of chicken while Doug had the purple rice! It was served with some sweet shrimp paste-like thing with some veg. Doug described it to be a little sweet and not too bad tasting. Adventurous tastebuds, hmm.
Took a walk around the Kampung and we got ourselves a pair of ‘Kampung Adidas’ each for only RM5.50. Turned out they made a real good trekking companion to have! I kinda enjoyed the laid-back vibe of the whole community back there, everyone was without a worry and carefree as can be. Guess it’s something that we don’t really advocate back here in Singapore.

Began our caving adventure in a little while, and only 20 minutes into our trek, Ruilong became the first leech victim. I can remember her shrieking and someone quickly poured half a bottle of Green Grass Oil onto her leg, dyeing it yellow. What an experience. I guess the highlight of our caving session (for me at least) was having to crawl through that really small hole inside the cave. We had to literally get down all fours, and slowly wriggle through. Great fun though! I can do more of this, I’m sure!
Made our way back to the Kampung where we had lunch before setting off for our full-gear trek up Gunung Stong (a killer).
