Arriving from Kinabatangan in our Borneo Explorer bus, which seemed able to conquer any road, we came to Sepilok Orangutan Centre - and later on Sandakan.

Leaving from Sandakan by plane we flew back to Kota Kinabalu. Explored the city for a while and then flew on to visit the small country of Brunei.
We flew in from Singapore and arrived at Kota Kinabalu. It was lated, and crashed at a hotel. Next morning we left early for Mount Kinabalu, and stayed a night at a hotel high up and with a stunning view of the mountain. Venturing down again, we found our way to Kinabatangan and explored rivers to find Elephants, Monkeys, Birds and other animals.

Arriving by bus from Melaka, we now entered Singapore. It’s one of the cleanest places I’ve ever been to, and somehow felt like an Asian Dubai. [googlemap lat=“1.352083” lng=“103.819836” width=“300px” height=“150px” zoom=“10” type=“G_NORMAL_MAP”]Singapore[/googlemap]

After spending 24 hours (or so) in Singapore, we rushed on by plane to Borneo.
Moving on from Kuala Lumpur & Taman Negara, our next stop on the trip was in the city of Melaka. It was once a Portuguese colony, and today a UNESCO World Heritage site.
