    These caught my eye before - I just was not sure. While wondering about that one leaved plant

    and admiring the stream and the sounds

    I realized one thing... Buce needs clear water - and it does not need to be in that water.

    It sure is an awesome environment - not that the locals think so - they hate the rain.

    Next was one of those follow the group kinda things - a must do thing when you talk about Mulu. Pleased with the previous finds I was very content to just meander with the group.
