Here without you

9th April-12th April.

Its been a long time since I talk to my travel partner I wanna go snorkeling.
Even though I didn't know how to swim, I always hoping to go somewhere remote, by the sea.
waking up with the sound of the waves, breezing sea air.
Eating seafood without worrying how much it will cost.
Finally.
The time has comes.
We decided to go to Sabah, land below the wind.
Coincidentally, it was the same date with my sister's trip.
but we took different flight, since my sister and her friend book the ticket during the Malindo's promo. And I only book the ticket last month with MAS.
We agreed to meet at KKIA later.
We rented a car, (Proton Saga) just nice to fit 4 persons and our luggage.
The more the cheaper right?
We safely landed on 11.30 am, and waited for the car.
Sadly, the car only came at 1.30 pm.
Better late than never kan? ya i know.
So we directly shoot to Kundasang.
On the way there, we drop by Rumah Terbalik.
It was only at the road side, on the left hand side.
We also having our lunch there.
As we already reached Tamparuli, tried to find the famous Jambatan Tamparuli.
but dind't took a picture here, as it just as the same as ordinary jambatan.
but actually i am phobia of height.
Continued heading up straight to Kundasang.
Stay at Mile 36 Lodge, and the scenery was awesome.
Amazed by the view of Mt Kinabalu from the room.
It was very cold during night time.
colder than Cameron.
We had KFC for dinner, at the town.
The next day, went to Desa Dairy farm. It opens daily, with the fee RM 4/adult.
You can feed the calf, watch the raw milk processing or photography here.
You also can buy the raw milk, but if only you already on your way home.
Because the milk need to be stored in chilled temperature.
Spent about two and half hours here.
Next, we went to Poring hot springs.
We want to try the canopy walk,
Rm3 per entrance + RM5 if you bring your camera along.
the height of the canopy is 41m above the forest floor.
Its about the same height as 8th floor building.
We need to climb up the hill first before we reach the canopy walkway via the uphill trail.
It was a steep trail, so we need to be extra careful, and also we need to be fit to reach the entrance.
When we reach the entrance, my jaw drop.
It was a narrow suspension bridge, with only rope,
and it only can fit 6 or 7 persons at a time.
When it was my turn, I can feel the bridge bounce and swing as we walk.
I feel like crawling.
I don't want to pause any seconds.
I just want to end this walkway, please.
Finally, I cant remember how many canopy bridges are there, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
We finally landed safely on the ground.
Did i tell you, i am phobia of heights?
Then stop at Kinabalu Park.
Snap picture, but it was a foggy day.
Resume back the journey to KK town.
Reach there when it was night already.
having our seafood dinner at Filiphines market, near the todak landmark.
Want to try lobster, but it's not the season, so its a bit pricey.
The third day, snorkeling at Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine park.
(Mamutik, Manukan, Sapi island)
It was crystal clear sea water.
and i am so in love with Nemo.
it was a priceless moment, and great experience which i wish i will have it again.
Done when it was afternoon, maybe at 4.
After cleaning up, went to Tanjung Aru to view the sun set.
It was perfect.
After that, went to Pasar kraftangan and pasar kampung air to get some souvenirs.
We bought sotong (gila murah!), prawn, salted fish, kopi tenom and of course the pearl thing, also kain batik and fridge magnet.
I wish I can visit you again someday sabah,
and I miss you already.

here i come baby!
