It was less than 30 minutes drive from the city
(probably because of the downpour since last night that caused the delay and I believe we could have reach the jetty within 20 minutes).
The feeling of excitement came together with some worries and fears because we had to cross the river in a boat. And yes!!!?!?! The river is infested with crocodiles!
(but thank goodness, I didn't see any sightings of the monsters in the water...or anywhere near our boat........phewww.....!)

What a great experience, despite the discomfort of hot weather,
boat trips and lack of proper toilets, I had a great time with the rest of the team involved in the project lead by Dr Haironi Yusoff.
It's indeed another unforgettable memories especially when this may already be
my last field trip organised by the medical faculty.
