We met in Jakarta and flew on to Borneo where we transferred to our boat. Traveling up river for two hours we reached Tanjung Putting National Park, the home to wild orangutans. The Kacek Fire Dancers performed for our group and two Balinese dancers posed in the Monkey Temple. Macaques were everywhere. We stayed in a magnificent villa Dedari Kriyamaha in Ubud, Bali. Each villa had a private swimming pool. On Komodo Island komodo dragons roamed like giant dinosaurs flickering their tongues for scent. Rangers walked beside them with forked sticks to stop any potential attack.
