Land below the Wind

Holidays! Finally some holidays!!! First holiday destination of the year 2011 is to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah also known as "the land below the wind". It's my first time to the East Coast of Malaysia and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. Thanks to the driving skill of Behn and Clive's GPS system, we manage to find our way around. We visited several places namely, Pulau Tiga (aka Survivors Island because the 1st season of Survivors was filmed here), Manukan Island, Kundasang and around KK town.

The first series of photos will be on Manukan Island, about 15 minutes away from KK town. The water is crystal clear, and schools of fishes were swimming freely largely ignoring the human crowd.

Delicious Yee Fung curry laksa at Gaya Street and fresh prawns among other during our seafood feasting! There are some very delicious food in Kota Kinabalu and the seafood is really really fresh!


Lido Square! Exploring the market early in the morning.


The nasi lemak in Lido Square is very very good! The Rendang Beef is very tender and the curry squid or "sotong" is very thin and fresh!

There is the whole gang at Survivor Island. Shouldn't have had asked the cook to snap a photo for us, some of us were nearly out of the frame.


We found some awesome graffiti at an open site inside Kota Kinabalu town.

The cow farm at Kundasang. The clouds were very low and it's very misty here.










The one and only brown and white cow here.














It's been a fun and relaxing trip in Kota Kinabalu! But I just can't wait for my next trip! That's all for now folks!
