Kindertehuis, Bukit Lawang

In the morning visited the local market. Lots of fruits, clothes, fish. When coming back saw a caged Slow Loris. In the afternoon visited the Bat Cave. Saw some bats and an orangutan. Now using donation-based wireless at a local Dutch-run orphanage for the victims of the year 2003 flood.

Tomorrow plan to go on a 2-day jungle trip to see the rest of the big 8 (elephant, rhino, tiger, asian wild dog, clouded leopard, two types of gibbon).

  2. The bus was crammed with people, most of them smoking, loud music, some of the passengers travelling on the roof, bus speeding like crazy, i.e. your average Indonesian bus experience. Don't remember any good views, jungle is blocking them. It's easy to get transportation in the sense that there are buses leaving every 30 minutes or so. But they only leave from certain bus stations, to which you have to get somehow by city transportation (e.g. becak).
