A Glimpse of Kota Kinabalu

Today we started with an English breakfast (because we missed it already)! We then shopped around for last minute items before our tour began. Lunch again was at the waterfront. After which, Chris and I headed to the Sabah Museum. The skeleton of a whale shark took my breath away. The heritage village was also enjoyable; until I was eaten by mozzies.

That afternoon we prepared for our tour meeting. We had dinner and drinks at a food market and Chris was very keen to choose his meal - a red snapper fresh from the fish tank! We then headed off and drank with the locals at a Filipino bar. Lucky for us, they were football enthusiasts so the streets were quite lively with a football match being broadcasted in the center of the markets.

We're both looking forward to the trip ahead. Our tour was a small group filled with a mix of age levels and personalities but we all had one thing in common: to really enjoy our time and to get as much out of this experience as possible.
