A trip to the jungle

A few weeks ago we took a trip to a place called FRIM.  It is a jungle preserve that includes the mountains that bound KL on one side.  When you climb to the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire city.  Surprisingly, it is only about 6 miles from our house so we can go there very easily.  Once there, you can take hiking trails through the jungle and up the mountain.  When I was told about this place, no one mentioned that it was a mountain.  I ended up having to carry a backpack and Rachel all the way to the top and all the way to the bottom.  I was exhausted but the kids had a blast.  So far, I think William still believes that the jungle trip is the best trip so far.  Mostly because they were able to get outside and run out in the woods.  I think they were the only kids on the entire mountain.  For some reason, it was only adults climbing. 

When you get to the top, there is a small rope suspension bridge that you can take out over the jungle.  It was scary, but pretty neat.  William was ready to get off immediately, but afterwards said it was fun.  The girls were completely fearless.  Coming down the mountain, you follow a water fall...pretty neat.

The pictures do not do justice to how far in the air we were.  It was from the bridge that you could look out and see the city. 

After the trip to the jungle, we cleaned up and went out for a meal.  This is the night we found a nice German restaraunt and ordered a suckling pig.  I did not know what a suckling pig would be but it sounded good.  Sure enough, they brought out a plate with an entire pig on it, head and everything.  Between the 6 of us, we ate the entire thing!
