Entry 15 of 32 | show all | print this entry

Mackenzie wanted to fit one more "nature thing" into our Malay adventure before we left for Thailand, so, sore-legged he woke up at 8am told me he was going somewhere and left. I said for him to be back at 3 so we can get to the airport ontime. I slept untill 10.

Really, I didnt want to do much. Kota Kinabalu isn't the biggest town in the world. Not many Ringgits left for shopping, so I did what I like to do on holiday, walk aimlessly.

I walked for a good 4 hours around this small town. Had some lunch. Did some shopping for Ken, and his parents.

When Mack got back we had a snack (him Burger King, me Fried Bananna? and made our way to the airport.

Just after we checked in and put our bags through the plane was announced delayed for 2 hours. Though we had met the people Mackenzie ended up walking up the Mountain with, James and his wife, and Barry. James and his wife live in Thailand teaching at an international school, while Barry...I dont know what he does...but, he's an American.

We sat around in a restaurant with them untill we made our way to Bangkok (they were on the same flight as us).

Upon arriving in Bangkok airport I was going to phone to find out where he was, but my battery had died. So after digging through my bag for the plug, and searching the airport for an outlet we got the #. Apparently, this was his old # and I did not have his new one.

Eventually I found him, and he drove us to his house. Due to the delay, time change, and traffic we got to his house shortly after midnight. Went to bed soon after.
