Monday March 20 - Georgetown

Georgetown We are off to the orangutan reserve today.  

Long walk out to the buses and then an hour and half bus ride to Bukit Merah Orang Utan Island Foundation
Interesting place that houses the Boneno subspecies of 3  orang subspecies
The best part of the trip was after the walk through the cage tunnel walkway from the dock there is a feeding station out over the water with ropes going to it that the "forest people" swing on.  We are able to throw our apples to the 🦧.  

Bus ride back out though palm oil plantations and factories.  Wea very long bridge with a stop afterwards to get a picture of it. The haze and air pollution didn't help. Even the rain last night didn't clear it up.
As we approached the terminal mark, Shirley and I got off early and Martha continued to the ship.  We had a little local food
Then out onto Chew Jetty
A little walk around little India
Back to the ship and dinner at Manfredis
