We did a jungle walk and ended up about 10km from Tanah Rata by the lake. Very hungry by this time, we spotted a place that could have been Ye Olde Smokehouse's twin brother - with prices to match. So we ordered a taxi back to town and we were surprised to find how much more direct it was through the jungle than along the road. We spotted a few people that could have been Jim Thompson but....no, he'd be 25 years older.
Back in town we had an Indian special lunch which turned out to be a great chicken biryani and at a fraction of the cost of the previous nights meal. We were just about to set out on another jungle walk when it began to rain so we headed back to Balas. We'd been joined in our dorm by a very pretty German miss, the first time we'd had to share since Katherine. Our evening meal was a very good, very cheap chinese.
