A journey of 1300km...from labuan (18/7/2009) to sandakan(18/7/2009) - (20/7/2009) to kundasang (20/7/2009) - (21/7/2009) to KK (22/7/2009) and back to labuan (23/7/2009) (^o^)
from left : IVY(sabahan bumiputera), JANU(indian Johor), ADELINE(Perak Chinese) n obviously JU(Pahang malay)
we started our journey in a weird way...
we didnt notice some wrong thing would lead to another wrong thing...
we departed by ferry on time(that was GOOD)...(^v^) we had fun on the ferry..
and we were among the first few rows in front of the ferry, thinking that we would be among the first to disembarked...(^v^)
unfortunately...we were wrong...
the ferry "parked" in the wrong direction making ALL of us to reverse our vehicles...thank god we were in the front rows...the 'coast' was quite clear by the time we reverse the car...
and thus, the journey began...
we drove from menumbok to KK(about 2-hour journey) smoothly...stopped for lunch at Putatan and picked Ivy...then, we continued straight to Sandakan.
we arrived at Sandakan around 8pm...in a rain(quite heavy in the middle of the journey)...
Thanks a million to Rabi for suggesting a very nice place(and surprisingly quite cheap) to stay...
we stayed in Sandakan for 2 nights...
On sunday,
we drove to Labuk Bay...the place for the famous "Proboscis Monkey" where we have to pay rm15 for the entrance fee plus another rm 10 for the camera...(we have to pay entra if we bring the video cam...)
then, we went to the mini zoo....there's nothing much to see there...(da fact that i just hate zoo, making me felt nauseas)...just few animals suffocating in a small wired-cage...
but the view of the garden was superb...breathtaking...just love the view from the bridge (^v^)
after that we stopped for a while at the Memorial park...just to have a walk while waiting for the next show in the crocs' farm...
at the crocodile farm...we paid rm5 per person to watch 4 (so-called) crocodile shows and all the crocs fight for seriously very2 little amount of fish...just couldnt bare to look at all those crocs so i decided to leave da place early...(*O*)
as a closure...our final destination for the day would be a lavish seafood dinner at Ocean King that didnt cost us a lavish spending...(bsukaria+bjimat...a good way for a holiday...)
(^v^) huahuahuahauahauahauah
on monday,
we checked out and we went straight to Sepilok Rehabilitation Center for the orang utan...we're lucky, we waited quite a while before we could see a mother+baby orang utan being fed by the workers...
we continued our journey to kundasang...surveying few hotels(in a drizzling of rain) before we decided to stay at the rose garden lodge...(they got this huge roses in front of the hotel)...
in the afternoon, we went to Poring hot spring...thinking that we could climb the canopy walkway...unfortunately heavy downpour followed us there and it wont go away...so, we just snap few pictures and headed back to the hotel...
our final destination would be KK...but there's not much things to do in KK as we're actually physically exhausted from the long journey...so, we end up doing some shopping and movie watching(thought of doing a movie marathon....(*O*)....x hv time for it)
p/s: hope i get da chance to go to sandakan again(but this time NO long-hour drive(BIG NO2)....bcos i still hv few more places(in mind) that i really want to visit....hopefully (^O^)
