A Photographic Travelogue to Sabah, Malaysia

 

The Trip » Kota Kinabalu

Touchdown: Kota Kinabalu, the state capital of Sabah, Malaysia. It's a quaint little city, where the pace of life seems a lot more relaxed than those in KL's.

2.) Upon arrival at Kota Kinabalu slightly more than 2 hours later, we were picked up by a friendly Mr Ahmad to our hotel.

3.) Evelyn did a great job organizing the entire trip. Her meticulous planning left no stones untouched - we had all the accommodation, food and transport organized each day. She even made sure we used the right toothpicks during meals.

4.) Don't be fooled by that serious look of Jason. I know I did - expecting him as Evelyn's boss, but he's turned out to be one big nut crack.

5.) View from the hotel room, the Sheraton. Kota Kinabalu is a city on the coast of the South China Seas.

6.) Fishing is an economy at KK, so boats like these are a common sight.

10.) For dinner, we had a grand meal of fish, crab, prawns, squid and all the good stuff, washed down with Carlsberg. Good thing Jason took care of the bill; otherwise Evelyn and I would've been swimming back to KL the very next morning.
