Man Vs. Mountain
Sharing the dorm with a bunch of Gap-tour teenagers was not the best way to spend the night, as they had stayed up late making loads of noise in the room, whilst running in and out turning the lights on and off. But in the morning Karma had its way, as I was up early putting the light on and getting ready to leave (accidentally I flipped the hot …
Hello Beautiful Borneo, Breathtaking!
Vikki woke up in a grump because she hadn't got enough sleep…..even the tea and toast couldn't bring her out of knackered-dom.

We woke up a little later than planned and went for a cooked brekkie overlooking the valley. Our table neighbours included a middle aged hippie woman in a kaftan telling us about her spiritual experiences (which included a trip to South America to visit a 'Healer') and feeding our unwanted 'lips and arseholes' sausages to a stray cat called Ming …

TravelPod Member ReviewsDvilla Rina Ria Lodge Kota Kinabalu
With limited accommodation at the base of mount Kinabalu, D'Villa is your best cheap option. With up to 12 beds crammed into one small dorm room, it is defiantly a cozy night (which is needed in the cool high altitude).
The hot showers have an immense amount of pressure, which is perfect on the cold mornings
