And then, for the last hoorah before heading back to Meulaboh, we went to Bukit Lawang to see the famous Orangutans. Of which we did- after another few hours of scrambling around muddy jungly mountains. But it was well worth it (though I had no idea a person could get this sweaty). We met with 4 orangutans, and though I've never been a huge monkey-fan, I'm definitely a fan of these amazing primates. As this area is a rehabilitation area, there are many orangutans who live on the fringe of the park that don't mind coming down to meet human visitors and share a little banana picnic.
