Kota Kinabalu and Mount Kinabalu
I arrived in Kota Kinabalu (KK), Sabah, Borneo on Tuesday the 12th of February. The weather was very different from KL, really humid and chucking it down with rain! I met a really nice old Malay man on the plane who said he would give me a lift into town, I was a bit hesitant to go with him, but it all worked out well and he was just being a really …
Dirty Old Town
Nothing much happened in KL. Wandered around still feeling rubbish from Singapore. Ate some food, saw some trees, drank some beer & slept quite a lot. Got a flight this morning up to Chiang Mai in Thailand. The flight was brilliant, we flew back up over all of the places which I've been to over the last few weeks. Have settled in to my gorgeous …
På stranden i Kota Kinabalu
Hvis vi var faldet i søvn på den ni timer lange bustur fra Semporna til Kota Kinabalu, så vågnede vi op, da vi satte os ind i den offentlige bus hvor der blev spillet "danza kuduro" og andet Dance så højt at vi kunne mærke bassen i maven. Vi havde kun ganske kort tid i KK. Første aften tog vi på kulinarisk eventyr og satte os på en kinesisk …

Wir hatten uns auf den Deal –Reise nach Kota Kinabalu (K.K)– eingelassen. Was blieb uns denn schon übrig? Wir bekamen nur ein 2B$ Ticket für das Durchqueren des Ferry Terminals, nichts weiter & wir sollten uns immer an den Ticketverkäufer heften! Also ab zum Immigration Office im Ferry Terminal in Brunei & sich den …

TravelPod Member ReviewsTravellers' Light Backpackers Lodge Kota Kinabalu
Really lovely staff, very helpful. Free breakfast (toast and tea and coffee) until 10am but you can help yourself and we were able to have hot drinks all day. The staff were helpful when booking a climb up Mount Kinabalu, and always smiling. A wonderful balcony that views into the forest with views of butterflies and sometimes monkeys. A lovely little chill out spot.
Only minus is the walls are thin and the floors, so people who are noisy are a pain but there are plenty of signs asking guests to be considerate!
