Kota Kinabalu & Brunei
Sep 16, 2009Arriving from Sepilok & Sandakan we had time to explore Kota Kinabalu. The most interesting was the night market by the sea. Leaving Kota Kinabalu we flew to Brunei and had time to explore the capital - Bandar Seri Begawan.

Sepilok & Sandakan
Sep 14, 2009Arriving from Kinabatangan in our Borneo Explorer bus, which seemed able to conquer any road, we came to Sepilok Orangutan Centre - and later on Sandakan.

Mount Kinabalu & Kinabatangan
Sep 13, 2009We 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.

Singapore
Sep 11, 2009Arriving 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]
