Un bonito atardecer

A travel blog entry by cagonu

Hoy recuperamos energias. Nos levantamos a las doce y pasamos un par de horas conversando con un chico australiano que nos dio muy buenas recomendaciones acerca de donde encontrar trabajo en Sydney.

Cogimos un autobus al centro de Kota Kinabalu y nos dirigimos a la oficina de informacion, donde nos dieron algunos numero de contacto.

Jakarta to Borneo

A travel blog entry by ericjon97

I got up this morning after a very comfortable night at Hunny Hostel. I had a four bed dorm to myself, and it had A/C, so I was very happy. I wasn't too excited about seeing anything else in Jakarta, but I forced myself out to see what was around.

I had a walk up the main street until I got to China Town and had a walk around there …

Day in KK

I met a few really nice English people at Borneo BeacHouse Backpackers this morning, and ended up spending the day with them. A couple (Rob and Jen) and a solo traveler (Julie) were nice enough to invite me to go for a walk around KK with them, so I wasn't about to pass up that invitation.

We caught the bus into town, which was an …

Back to KK on a bus

A travel blog entry by ericjon97

Today was a bit of a wasted day due to travelling. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a flight back to KK from Sandakan, so I decided to take a bus. I got up and checked out of my hostel earlier than I was planning, but I was just happy to get out of there. Neither Sandakan nor my hostel impressed me, so I wasn’t going to stick around …

    Great place to stay

    It has cheap rooms and also good deals with 20% off if you stay 2 or more nights. The location is out of the hustle and bustle of the city centre and a 5 minute walk from the AirAsia terminal but you need a taxi to get to/from the other terminal. About 100m walk from a quiet beach and some great places to eat. The staff are very friendly and organise plenty of activities so you won't be bored. Also there is a communal kitchen and relaxing area for everyone to use. Overall a really good stay and I would recommend it highly if you don't mind being a little away from town.

    give it a miss unless you need to be near the airport

    It is very convenient for the airport if you are flying with air asia from terminal 2 - literally 10 min walk and easy to do even with a big rucksack. The beach is dirty and there is an open drain going to it and the food court on the beach is average. Other than that the accomodation is over priced for what you get - we are coming back this way but will stay elsewhere.

    Great staff, very close to the airport

    This is a fifteen minute walk from the airport, with a big backpack. Not located in central Kota Kinabalu, but it's easy enough to walk to the local bus stop and head in from there. The rooms are only ok, but for the price they are fine. I went out to Sandakan for a night and then came back and the staff were very accommodating. They held my bags and let me get right back into my own room the next day.
