We have a great English teacher, who makes us laugh every day; he tells us stories about his travels, where did he go, where did he stay and what did he see. Yesterday he told us about Niah caves from one of his journeys.
About thirty years ago, mister Hedley visited the Niah Caves in Sarawak in East Malaysia with his wife Mary and his daughter Katie. They travelled by his own car Nissan Datsun. They set out at 9:00 am from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. They crossed two large rivers by ferry. After lunch they got into a small boat to their government rest house and they rested in it that night with a small group of scientists who lived in the rest house, and shared the cold drinks with them.On the next day they left the rest home and crossed the jungle until they saw the cave. It is so dark and smelled stinky inside so the men had lights on their hats. They saw men who climbed trying to get birds' nests at the top. At that time they didn’t’ know why they tried to take it; they sell it to Chinese because Chinese make bird’s nest soup. After that adventure they returned to the rest house and they said goodbye to their friends
Mister Hedley said everything was good but the best thing was when he saw the men climbing to get the birds' nests.
