The Golden Road to Samarkand We are the Pilgrims, master; we shall go Always a little further: it may be beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow Across that angry or that glimmering sea. Surely we are brave who take the Golden Road to Samarkand. - Hassan by James E. Flecker

At Labuk Bay, the Proboscis monkeys are fed on platforms opposite viewing areas for tourists. In the wild, they don't only feed at 10:30am & 3pm daily... I think they made a spelling mistake on the sign out front, what they meant to spell was A-T-T-R-A-C-T-I-O-N.

This is the entrance to Labuk Bay Proboscis monkey sanctuary. Not very impressive and not very interesting you might say. I should title this picture

The Samboja Sanctuary is more like an actual sanctuary. This one cares for Orang-utans that have been orphaned or have had their habitat destroyed. They are the poster-child for the campaign to stop deforestation in Borneo and other parts of Malaysia.
