A Home in the Shadow of the Giant Gunung

Mersilau Lodge has proven to be a pleasant surprise. Nestled at about 1,500 ft above sea level on Mt K, it is pretty darn cold at night. But we managed to have the Lodge House, which Seetoh booked, to ourselves and as such, comfort is assured.

It's the first time that I've seen mist ahead of me as I walked along the path to the restaurant. I was pondering what I'll be doing on my solo day alone.

The hot springs were very enticing - definitely therapeutic for a sore ankle. It's a pity I couldn't do much trekking.

Switched on the heater (thank God for heaters!) full blast and slept like a baby.
