Mulu Adventures 姆鲁探幽 1


I thank God for being able to re-visit Mulu Caves.

After my knee operation, I have gained confidence to scale the steps and passage of Mulu Caves.

Moreover, I have promised many people that I would bring them to Mulu Caves, my wife being one of them.

On 19/10/2011,I set foot again on Mulu Caves with my wife, fulfilling my promise made to her 18 years ago ! With us was Paul Yong, a Bruneian friend. Praise and Glory to God.

Gunong Mulu National Park consists of 4 world renowned show caves open to visitors:

1. Lang Cave,
2. Deer Cave - The world largest cave passage in the world.
3. Wind Cave
4. Clear Water Cave- The largest single cave in the world. (overall volume)

Another geological wonder, The Sarawak Chamber, is know as the world largest underground chamber (can hold 40 jumbo jets). It is not open to public.

We left Bandar Seri Begawan on 19/10/2011 at 5:30 am for Miri. We took a 9:30 flight at Miri Airport to Mulu which took 30 minutes only.

We checked into Royal Mulu Resort, a sprawling complex in the middle of tropical rain-forest.

Our programme started in the afternoon with a 3-km plank walk to visit Lang Cave and Deer Cave.

Due to rain in the evening, we were not able to see the spectacular flying out of bats from Deer Cave.

The return journey and caves exploration was about 9 kms.

我要感谢天主,使我能够再次的到姆鲁山洞一游。

自从我的膝盖手术之后,我重新的获得信心,再接受姆鲁的梯级和步行道的挑战。

我也答应好多人,要带他们到姆鲁一游,这包括我的太太。

18年后,在19/10/2011,我终于和太太一起踏足姆鲁国家公园。同行的还有来自汶莱的朋友杨永平。

姆鲁山国家公园里,有四个世界闻名的山洞,开放给游客。

1. 狼洞 (Lang Cave)。
2. 鹿洞 (Deer Cave) - 拥有世界最宽的步行道。
3. 风洞 (Wind Cave)
4. 清水洞(Clear water Cave) -全世界最大的洞(体积)。

在这公园里,还有一个世界最大的地下内室洞,砂劳越内室洞,能够容纳四十架波音747 飞机。 目前还不开放给公众,只给洞穴探险者进入。

我们在19/10/2011早上五时半就从汶莱斯室启程,往美里机场出发。我们乘搭早上九时半的班级到姆鲁,只需半个小时。

我们进住在皇家姆鲁度假村。这是一个庞大的渡假村,由热带雨林环抱着。

我们的节目从下午二时开始,步行三公里的木板步行道,去参观狼洞和鹿洞

傍晚下雨,我们没看到百万蝙蝠出洞觅食的壮观。

往返的路程,加上洞内探幽,我们大约步行了九公里。

I thank Anthony Wong not only for arranging Paul Yong to drive over to Miri and to accompany us to Muli Caves but taking care of everything from meeting up with friends, old and new and even food. Thank you one and all for our memorable stay in Brunei. God.bless all of you.
