Kuching - River Kayaking

Another hot day in Borneo so we headed up to the high lands to paddle down a creek in the rain forest region surrounding Kuching.

There are no saltwater crocodiles this far inland so it was a casual day paddle with mild rapids and some clear water to swim and paddle in.

The scenery was great, but as this was during the hottest part of the day, we only got to see some fish near one of the local villages as the rivers are stocked.

For a pristine rain forest setting, there was a surprising amount of rubbish in the river.  Throwing your rubbish into the river seems to be an institutional thing.
