The Climb pt2

after the rest, take photos. then a quick hike to Gunting Lagadan Hut, just 10 mins away. the way there is again up and more ups.
it's a nice long house, hostel type quarters, 4 to a room, kitchen area, small hall, common shower area, male and female toilets.

people actually bring stuff up here to cook ! can sardines, fresh veg and so on. must have gotten porters to carry them up. a plate of generous serving fried rice at Laban Rata restaurant is Rm7 and hot drinks are Rm4. a can of 100plus is Rm4 ... you get the idea, things her are a bit more expensive but not out of this world.

funny having a common shower area with some girls hanging their bras on top of the door, half inside and half out an amusing sight for a country where girls are modestly dressed (not all but majority of them).
hot water was available and i quickly took a shower. was told that hot water will run out towards the end of the day, depending on how many people took a hot shower... cold shower is not an option. i even brought up a pack of wet wipes incase the hot water runs before i had a chance to shower.

a change of fresh clothes.....what a feeling. after that, bed ....ahhhhh....zzzz.
woke up later and my stomach was not feeling to well. forced myself to have some 3-in-1 Nestum, 7pm and it was already very dark. tried to sleep but woke up again around 9pm and had some instant noodles, then off to sleep again.
before you know it noise were coming from the corridor and outside were a hive of activities. everyone's getting ready for the last leg of the climb.
