I haven’t had the chance to add some Borneo pictures that are not about hiking, so I wanted to take the time to do that….
Where it all began…..my hostel room in Kota Kinabalu, a two-minute walk from the beach. No air con, which was interesting initially as I was blasted with waves of sticky heat upon exiting the airport. The charm of the place was lost upon me at first as I became obsessed with my perceived loss of sleep due to the humidity. I wanted to run to the nearest cheap hotel with air conditioning – what was I thinking being here! Turned out to be better than I expected, though I still wouldn’t say good. By the fifth night, though – once S, M and J arrived – we checked into an air con room at the hostel. Whew!
Some lovely scenery of the beach.
M, me and J with the women who cooked us lovely food…..
And then there was the canopy walking. A nice intro to climbing some stairs….getting us prepped – we thought! – for Kinabalu. Turns out to have been useless for that – nothing could have prepared us for that mountain. Fortunately, the view from the top of the canopy was beautiful, albeit wobbly!
What looks more vacation like than yoga by a waterfall?
Yet another beautiful sunset. And our beautiful beachhouse on our last night.

The beachhouse looks like something from a travel mag! And you look so strong & fit in your yoga pose – I am very envious of your adventures! Keep up writing about them :]
