Forest Edge Resort

This place is one of many in the Sepilok area surrounding the Orangutan Rehab Center.
It's a beautiful looking resort further out from the others (SJR) which makes it impossible to walk to the rehab center for a viewing.
The cabins are lovely, although steve's is a long hilly walk from the dining room and hard on his knee. They provide drinking water in the rooms and the shower was better than our previous places In that the water was slightly warmer than warm. No such thing as hot water anywhere here unless you boil some in the little kettles they provide in the room.
The lighting in the cabins leaves much to be desired. I can hardly see to find some clothes in my bag. Thank goodness again for my headlamp. An absolute must for travel to this area, particularly because of power failures. I keep mine handy in the bed every night
The food here is fine, we enjoyed our dinner last night.. Although I only had rice and veggies There is free wifi here only in the dining area.

They have arranged a taxi for us this morning to Sandakan city but as usual it's raining and I'm not sure how pleasant this excursion will be.
They thoughtfully provide umbrellas in the cabin.

It's always raining in a rainforest!! Much of the time I feel like a soggy rat.
