Relaxing morning on the beach. Today is a day of cleaning the beach.

Mabul beach

We got up early and since it's seven o'clock we only found a Muslim café open where we had breakfast. At 7:30 we are in the office of the Scuba to take the boat tickets and lodging in Pulau Mabul in the Celebes Sea, a small island of cerulean waters, surrounded by reefs and with white sand beaches.

We have breakfast, get our backpacks and go to the Orangutan Rehabilition Center. It is part of the Kabili-Sepilok Forest Reserve.

Orphaned and injured orangutans arrive at Sepilok to be rehabilitated and returned to their environment. They are fed twice a day, which is when you are most likely to see them.
