Arrival in Kota Kinabalu Our journey to Borneo started at the ungodly hour of 5am, walking to the sky train stop in Singapore for the first train to Changi Airport. In the airport, the check in desk couldn't find any record of us on the flight (surely it was just a search for our names?), but after a few phone calls and consultations with other ...

We arrived in Kota Kinabalu which is the capital of Malaysian Borneo. The island is split between Indonesia in the West, Malaysia in the East and Brunei in between those two. Its a busy capital city and I was a little surprised as I have always thought of Borneo as being pretty remote and jungle clad. I suppose anywhere this big with an airport ...

We needed to leave our hostel by 11:30 to get to the bus station by 12 to take our bus to clark. Now, the Air Asia website says they run a bus direct from Manila to the airport, but I guess its only Mon-Fri, so we needed to take a bu...

We went for a bike ride for an hour the other afternoon and it was very very hot. We needed to jump straight into the water when we got back. The bikes were as old as the hills, very rust...
