Avoiding the Leeches

Noosa Camp

Travelling from the Kuala Lumpar to the Teman Negara could not have been easier.  After reading reviews online we knew that we wanted to stay at the Noosa camp.  We went to the tourist information in Kualar Lumpar and were able to book the lot there at a fraction of what it would have cost booking it through an agent.  The Journey itself was magnificant.  Leaving the bustle and pollution of the city we travelled through the heart of rural malaysia to the jetty.  Here we got onto a boat and spent a luxurious 2.5hrs travelling through the rainforest in the heat of the modday sun.  Dozng off to the sound of rainforest birds was most relaxing.  At the Noosa camp we were able to cool off in the river before dinner.  It was an inclusive package and although the accommodation and food was basic the standard was acceptable and reasonably clean.  We were exceptionally lucky as we were there in what should have been rainy season...that means leeches, but it hadn't rained for a month and so we escaped with no bites (not even mozies!).  It was a great experience one which I would definately repeat if given the chance.
