There are a lot of small tracks in this park forest, however we must be careful, walk with a team or at least a friends, so when unpredictable incident happen, we still have someone there to help.

Coconut Drink and Farm visiting at Bintulu Town

I landed in Bintulu that morning, and my friend picked me up at the airport, so happy that he remember my arrival time, and on our way to his farm. We pass by to the place where the local village people sells the fruits and vegetable. We stop by and have this delicious coconut!!!

The juice extremely delicious, mix with some pandan flavor. The lady is kind enough to split the coconut into half, and let me eat the coconut. The also use the hard skin, and make it as a spoon to let me dig the coconut to eat.

I then proceed to my friend's farm, and he told me that he just finish harvesting the previous bath. Now waiting for the new batch of veggie to grow. He used two years to make this place what is it now, and there are still a lot of work to be done.
