Escape to Sabah – 25/09/2011-28/09/2011

Our next trip after Langkawi Island is Sabah. For this trip, me and my wife went there together with our 1 month 27 days daughter Raisya Nur Eishal, my mother Rogayah Siron, my sister Rohana Man, my brother Rahim Man and my sister in law Zalifah. We went there for 4D3N. We depart from Kuala Lumpur around 8.00am and arrived at 10.30am.
Holiday to Sabah
Day 1 - Upon arrival, we were fetched by the travel agent at KK airport and he sent us to Marina Court Condominium. It’s was a nice condominium opposite the sea. After lunch we proceed to Pekan Filipina (pusat kraftangan Kota Kinabalu) it’s nearby our Condominium. It’s a place for pearl shopping heaven..Hehehehe...

And then around 8.00pm travel agent fetch us at condominium and we then proceed to Poring Hot Springs as for our 1st destination for day 2. It’s took almost 4 hours to reach Poring Hot Springs but its worth it because the view is amazing along the road. While on the way we stopped at pusat kraftangan to buy some souvenirs. Around 12.00 noon we arrived at Poring Hot Springs. Beside Hot Springs, there are several recreational attractions in this area such as Butterfly Park, Canopy Walkway, Kipungit Waterfall, Bate Cave and Langanan Waterfall. As for us we just went for Poring Hot Springs took couple of minute to soak our feet in the hot spring, relax our self with the nature surrounding.

After that we proceed to Kinabalu Park. It took around 30 minutes to reach the park from the Poring Hot Springs. The whether at the Kinabalu Park is quite cold as it located at the Mount Kinabalu foot. The air is refreshing and the nature surrounding is magnificent and spectacular. We also visited The Kinabalu Natural History Gallery. It is a great place to familiarize with what the Park has to offer to through a fascinating exhibition on the flora, fauna and geological make-up of the Park. Around 5.00 pm we were ready to departure back to our condominium. As for this its only took around 2 ½ hours to reach our condominium. It’s a very tired day as the place of interest from one place to one place at Sabah is quite far from each others. Oh yes, when we are back to our condominium our sister, brother and sister in law drop by at Pasar Basah Kota Kinabalu near by our condominium to buy seafood such as prawn, lobstar etc. for our dinner. As for that night we just rest, relax and recharge our energy for the next day journey..yeahhhhhh!!!!

And then around 8.00pm travel agent fetch us at condominium and we then proceed to Marine Park at University Malaysia Sabah (USM). Unfortunately it was close due to renovation progress. Took several snap at Counselor Park USM and then proceed to Tangjung Aru for sight seeing. Upon arrival, the storm hit the beach and the wind blown strong. We took shelter at the food court for couple of hours and then proceed back to our condominium. When night fallen; me, my wife, my brother and my sister in law when to the night market to see what they offered there. Most of the products at their night market are pearl. Me and my wife went to CentrePointSabah to buy few things for our baby Raisya Nur Eishal.

Day 4 - Woke up around 6.00am. Prepared our-self and then proceed to restaurant for breakfast. And then me, my wife, my brother and my sister in law went for beach activities. As for my sister and my mother, they didn’t join us. They stayed at condominium and took care of our baby Raisya Nur Eishal. Thanks big sis and mother : ).  For our beach activities, we paid RM160 for Manukan and Mamutik island packages. As we arrived at the island, the beach is beautiful and happening but the sea wave is quite strong and the water is a bit cloudy resulted from sea storm a day before. A bit frustrated for us.  Around 12.00noon we are back to our condominium. Pack our things for check out and get ready back to KL. We are departure fom KK around 4.00pm and touch down at KL at 6.30pm.

Both your mother and your father will always love you till the end of our life.
