Day 1 & 2 : Kota Kinabalu and Kundasang

Just back from Kota Kinabalu, squeezing all of Kota Kinabalu into our 4 days there. It was indeed a fully packed trip. We arrived at KK at 10.30 pm so couldn't do much except for a supper before we all retired to bed at High Street Inn where the owner was kind enough to charge us only RM 70 nett per room per night.


The function of hotel to us is just to take bath and to have a shelter over our heads at night and also a place to keep our things hence we opted for those very basic hotel.

Day 2.
After a hearty breakfast of the famous Sabah's Gu-bak mee and seafood noodles at Kedai Kopi Kinabalu





we headed off to Kundasang stopping at Pekan Nabalu



to hunt for Sabah's delicacies and handicrafts





















and stopping at Fairy Resort for a nice lunch.







There were so many things to shop on the way to our resort in Kundasang. Another market near Kundasang town selling fruits , veggies and flowers.



















After a long journey of eating shopping and more shopping we reached Zen Resort
where we were be staying for a night with view overlooking Mount Kinabalu so as to catch a glimpse of the mountain early next morning if weather permit:







Nice resort, RM 470 per house with 3 big bedrooms. Each room has one single bed and one double bed with attached washroom. Moreover that price is inclusive of dinner for 6 pax.

If you are wondering what are provided for dinner .....nice nice food at that nice nice and clean Zen Restaurant :

I have not been to Sabah for about 10 years. The last time I was in KK was in 1999. Maybe, I should make a trip.

Nice place especially those islands. If can climb Mount Kinabalu better still.
