Jungle Boogie…


It’s time to apply the deet…we are heading for the Malaysian jungle!


It’s only natural that you get down to basics now and again and spend some time appreciating how our forefathers lived, like Tarzan.
It wasn’t long before we were under the canopy, and sweating like pigs, into the dense, primary rainforest. In the distance we could hear the courtship calls of the cicada’s, like small car alarms going off. 

  
We carried on regardless, going ‘deeper and deeper into the under growfth’. I could hear the lispy botanist David Bellamy in my head and picture his round, hairy, bearded face, creepily poking out from behind a thicket of palm frongs…

We soldiered on, as the path disappeared we hacked our way through the whispering grass and the spikey rattan, now humid and hot we resembled Don Estelle & Windsor Davies of ‘It ain’t half hot mum’, circa 1974 fame…


Suddenly we came across a large python in the bushes, hissing at us…was this a warning?

“Sssstay on the path”

We continued on…

Then, another reptile, this time an angry venomous cobra reared up…
“Hiss off”


We started to run…


                                 Right into the path of an awaiting tiger…

“They’re Grrreat…!”
So we ran a bit more…






Finally we caught a glimpse of a roof through the forest 


and could hear several larger creatures crashing about in the nearby trees, we had at last found our promised abode.
‘Seaview Cottage’


It was spacious and rustic, as described…but we were not the first to arrive. 



A troupe of pesky primates had beaten us to it and had most of the galvanised roof sheets away and a couple of the windows.

On closer inspection, the wifi password didn’t work, there were no clean towels or any sign of a minibar!

That’s the last time I’m using AirB&B…

Good work, managed to reference a couple of classic 70’s TV programmes from my youth too!
Kool and the Gang ‘Jungle Boogie’, used in one of my favourite films ‘Pulp Fiction ’…Iv added the lyrics too so be sure to sing along!
