Our long house experience

Today we spent the day at ana rais longhouse where we went on a jungle trek to  a lovely waterfall for a swim. Which was well needed after a very sweaty climb up the hill to get there.

After our swim we had lunch which was cooked while we splashed about at the waterfall.
Then once we got back to the longhouse we went on a tour and learnt all about the history of the tribe who have been here for 300 years. We visited the skull room where the heads of past war conquests are kept.

Then after another huge, locally sourced, meal we were treated to a cultural display of music and dance. All in the home we were  staying in.

We have seen the traditional side of borneo today and have learned lots along the way.
