Sabah Day 2

Hmm, the second day we woke up quite early, around 7 I think, had some curry Laksa at the shop across the hostel and waited for our guide to come pick us up. Lazarus Gubi was our guide, everyone was calling him Lazarus, but i really wanted to call him Gubi...

Not the right way to hide from the sun, please dont use your blanky to cover the sun...

Hmm on our way we stopped at this town that really looked familiar with all those old buildings you can see when you go on the old roads in the Semananjung... We stopped at a place called Tuaran which was famous for... Tuaran Mee... basically it's a mee made from a lot of eggs... hmm, it was very appetizing, Lai set a record of eating 5 plates...

Our hostess of the day. Alan's mum and his younger cousin sister came along with us.

Our first destination was the foot of Mount Kinabalu...

Mount Kinabalu was kind of hard to get a picture of cause the car was constantly on the move...

I'd like to say it again, we are poor... So instead of going up Mount Kinabalu, we came here... To the botanical park of Kinabalu...

There was amazing plants there but what would a bunch of guys going to become engineers understand about plants??? However the other guides (our guide is only a driver, so he stayed outside...) who were guiding the tourist in the park were very enthusiastic though, one quy was talking Japanese and was saying, 'この豆の中に種がたくさんなりますよ...' Marvel at nature... Unfortunately this tree was cut down...We headed to this hot springs in a different place after the park, we crossed a bridge were there was this crazy river. This river was very fast and very 'garang'... So we changed it's name from Mamut to Maut...

The hots springs turned out to be a 'warm and dirty' springs, so we decided to play in the pool... which was more cold than my butt...

After our little play in the pool we headed towards the long houses where they sold art crafts and also a lot of cool shirts... This was our last stop before we headed to our hostel again. As you can see in the photo, the day got pretty foggy and our guide went like 'Sya tinggal kat sni ba, dah biasa ba ni smua...' at least that is what i colud understand... The long house was at Kundasang...

At night was pretty plain, we went for dinner with Alan's mom and cousin again. We treated them this time, we at a coffee house like place which had a delicious chicken broth (soup). Other than that the sea food was great.
At night at the hostel was pretty boring...
