The smells get worse...

Stinky stinky 9 hr bus ride (meant to be 6hrs) all the way to Sandakan on the east coast of Borneo. Thats all we got to say.

Man of the Forest

We took the bus from Mount Kinabalu to Sandakan. We arrived quite late and it was raining and the place that was listed in Lonely Planet was full. However, luck was still with us and we found an awesome place that was just perfect after the mountain. Hotel London was just recently renovated and was great! A/C, TV (with Star Movies!), hot private shower, breakfast was included...what more can you ask for? And it was the cheapest place we found too. We did a day trip to the Sepilok Orangutan Re...

Roosters are my mortal enemy

We hopped on an Air Asia flight over to Sandakan, hoping to organise some tours in around Sabah to see the wildlife, however it turned out to be a bit harder than we expected. The day we left KL we did manage to organise a 3 day, 2 night trip down the Kinabatangan river, but another of the places we wanted to see, Turtle Island off the coast of Sabah, was full. It turned out to be quite an intense tour for us to start our holiday with. Sandakan turns out to be a small provincial town, a pimpl...

Swinging Sandakan!

The journey to Sandakan got off to a rocky start when emma had to dive out the taxi taking us to the long distance bus station to throw up. The Malaria pills we have been taking don't really seem to agree with her. Jonti is still waiting patiently for his first vivid dream.

In the bus station there are a number of different bus operator stands, they all service the same routes and seem to be in direct competition but tend to leave at different times. Our cab driver was clearly on a c...

A trip down the memory lane

... apolitical; making money and taking care of themselves and their clans were (and are) the only concerns they have. When they had the power and opportunity to fight for their rights they chose not to, thus the laws of the country favor the Malayans; and now when they are weak and being dominated, they still fail to muster a credible fight. They are the combination of pre-WWII Jews (refused to assimilated, apolitical, good businessmen) and nowadays Palestinians ...

... 8230; we had grossly overestimated how long it would take to get to the airport. Anton had showed us a shorter route which meant we would have 4 hours to wait around Sandakan airport. If you&#8217;ve been to Sandakan airport then you will know there is not enough to keep you amused for 4 hours so we sat in the resteraunt armed with Lonely planet guides and planned our next leg of the journey. We decided to head to the Perhentian islands. Our plane would arrive in KL in ...

Uncle tans jungle safari....meets its match...!

... I don&#8217;t care about no spid** I wanna see a flying lizard&#8221; and strolled off towards the guide. The Austrian guy mumbled &#8220;well I care!&#8221; and took some photos. The flying lizard looked like a dragon it was awesome. It was also int**rogated and probed by jane but any animal stupid enough to be out tonight was in for it. I still had no confimed sightings except of a yellow bellied frog but that was old news now. I so wanted to jst call out &#8220; A Unicorn ...

Turtle Island

Første stop var Selingan Island, en af tre øer som er beskyttet af de malajiske myndigheder da de bliver anvendt af havskildpadder til æglægning og udrugning. Turen derud tager ca. 1 time med speedbåd. Eftermiddagen gik med at snorkle på en pragtfuld strand med store kratere fra tidligere  æglægninger. Peter fik testet sit undervandshus til kameraet og med Tobias' hjælp fandt vi Nemo og en masse andre flotte fisk. Efter aftensmaden ventede vi sp ...

... some minivets and a really colourful woodpecker). They had some nice towers to climb up and a canopy walk so you could get up amongst the wildlife. After a couple of hours wandering around we headed back to the sanctuary. We got there a bit early and the rain had thankfully stopped and as soon as we arrived a male came walking along the boardwalk towards us to see what was going on. It was a fantastic intimate moment with him and he sat and ...
