From Miri to Mulu 2

The last leg of our journey to Mulu was in a longboat, powered by an outboard motor. A rainstorm was brewing. That's Julie in front and Ange behind her, the only other travelers on this trip.

Below is the interior of the longboat. This one is wider and higher than the ones the Iban in the longhouse use, but the basic design is the same. The bottom is flat, well designed for shallow rivers. The seats are not attached. The same longboat took us to the Headhunters' Trail the next day.
