Lata Jarum 181106

At the end of the motorable road, we come to a car-park at Lata Jarum, a tourist attraction launched in 1999, but has since lost a lot of steam. Maybe people avoid this place because of Mona, who claimed she would never die?


Alighting from the car, I gaze down at an inviting pool formed by the mountain stream ...


... but alas, our mission today is there, somewhere in the foreboding jungle.



Having secured our cars, we melt into the jungle in a single file, with Mat Ros leading the way, parang in hand.
