My wonderful trip




During my June holidays, I also went to Tasik Temmengoh. It is an island in Malaysia. On the first day, we were going to the waterfall. We had to trek in a jungle full of insects and many people were bitten by a leech(an insect that sucks blood from other animals). The water was freezing and refreshing. After that, we went to see the Rafflesia(a flower with the smell of rotting meat). It only smells awful when the flower blooms fully. To see that flower we had to climb a very steep hill. I fell down and grazed my hands and knees on a rock. But I carried on walking. I only saw one Rafflesia but it did not have a smell. The guide explained that it was wilting. I also saw a closed Rafflesia. Look at the pictures.
