Long Seridan - Long Naring - Long Sugan 7-13 FEB2005
We fly separately into Long Seridan from Miri due to limited seat. April and me took the flight to Marudi and waited for the 2nd flight from Miri to Long Seridan with WLF and Benyi on board.
In Long Seridan we met Angoi and Joyce. After a chat, we decided to go to Long Naring to stay for 2 nights with the Penans. The pictures tell it all. Some Penans words that April Tan wrote in the notebook.
