This is the last part of Turn Red Mini Zoo. I still have tonnes of post debts to clear…

After visiting the zoo and the wood fossil section, we headed back to the entrance where the restaurant is just around the corner.

Left: If you would like to know the operating hours and contact details, here it is!
Right: The entrance. We are going into the cave…

Left: Nothing special in there. I was misled that it looked like a cave from some photos that my friend had taken. DUH~ This is the real interior. *LOL*
Righ: The most expensive fries I ever had. RM6 per plate! It took them ages to get it out. BOOOoOOO… It was over-fried too.

After we were done with the fries, off we went back to Kuching.

After seeing all the animals, let’s go into the cave to see some rocks.

They called it wood fossils. I don’t know why… Hmm…

Very cooling in there, you can hear the sound of water dripping. You might get a drip or more if you are lucky enough hahaha…

Don’t be itchy handed ok?!?!? This is for your own good. You might meet some bats or got hit by a bat if you are lucky. With bats in there, you should know that you must not simply touch the rock above you hahaha… You’ll get shit and poo of the bats later 😛

I’m not going to do your work anymore! Not worth it. Shoo… Go away… I don’t care about that few hundred Ringgit from you also. You are just making my life miserable. Don’t bother me anymore! Such lousy friend, only know how to take advantage of people.
Ah… Feel so good dissing people. This guy deserve it. You sucks!

To go into the zoo, you have to pay RM6 per adult for entrance. Children is RM3. At the entrance you are greeted with some aquariums.

Iguana, I almost didn’t notice it as its colour was the same as the ground. Gave me a shocked!
Various birds such as owls, parrots, eagles.
You see the deer? It’s a barking deer. I wonder it barks or not 😛

Left: Monkey! Your friends!
Right: The male and female turkeys. The two males were trying to court the female turkey. It was so funny, walking around trying it attract its attention and made some very “man” sound like “thump thump thump”. However, the female turkey seemed not moved at all.

Left: Bats.
Right: I forgot what are these called. They seemed to be fighting with each other on top of the platform on top of the tree!

Left: What kind of pig is this? It eats veggies and fruit.
Right: Ostrich, “she” was very elegent. Walked around with so much poise and confidence. Hahaha…

Left: These birds wer cool! They talked while you least expect it. Gave us a bit of shock when it suddenly said “hello”, “ni hao” -.-” They were not afraid of human at all. The tried to get close to us as close as they could. Even let us touch them.

Right: Another monkey friend of yours. 😛

Left: Peacock!
Right: No idea what bird is this. It just stayed ther minding its own business when we got close to take its photo. This was not caged, it could roam freely in the zoo unlike other birds.

Left: Horses.
Right: This hen was pretty fat -.-” When it walked, it’s a a very fat aunty walking in “seluar katak”(frog pants 😛 Don’t know what its called in English) hahaha…

Left: Rabbits. It was feeding time that time, you could request to feed them too. Then we saw a ale rabbit trying to make love with a female rabbit. It tired twice but the female rabbit was so “cold” *LOL* Then it gave up and went back to its “cave” to join other male rabbits.
Right: If you feel like want to do some “business”, they have a toilet there. Hehehe…

To be continued…

This is in Bau, not in Kuching, so I’m not grouping it under Uniquely Kuching. On 31st August, we made a last minute decision to go to visit a zoo. Called up many friends and too bad they already had their own plan already.

I’m not sure how to describe the direction to go there. Basically just go to Bau, then you will see the signboard below…

Take the left… The right is going to Sematan and Lundu.

Just drive straight up, don’t turn into Wind Cave on your right. Don’t turn right! Just drive straight up to Fairy Cave direction. See the magnificent mountain! Very nice! You don’t see this everyday for the city folks.

You will reach a junction with the yellow signboard, then turn right. You will reach the police check point. This is also the direction for you to go to Serikin, where the Indonesia border is.

Not long after that, pay attention to your left, you will see the signboard. This is where the mini zoo is located. You are now right below the rock mountain.

Left: We were greeted by huge and tall tree trunk. See how small I am 😛
Right: Well… Just normal tree 😛 You can only see my eyes there hahaha…

Some views of D’ Villagers(formerly known as Turn Red Restaurant). This is where you can sit and rest after hours of walking aroud. Enjoying the clean air and the nature around you. You can also order some drinks and food to savour there. This, I will cover in later part.

The middle is a huge rock pillar, pretty tall too just like the tree trunk above.

The time it took us to reach there was around 45 minutes-1 hour…
