KK Journey

As planned, we went to KK and also went to Kundasang/Ranau. But the planned schedule wasn't exactly as we planned.

We were supposed to spend overnight at Promenade Apartment, KK and then went to Kundasang/Ranau on the next day and spend a night at Kinabalu Pine Resort and went back to KK to spend time for shopping.

Instead, we went straight to Kundasang and stay overnight at Rose Cabin. Then went back to KK and stayed at Tabung Haji for 2 nights.

Day 1
At about 7.15 am, we started our journey at Kuala Lurah. We arrived at Rose Cabin, Kundasang, at about 4.30 pm. What a day! Well, we did stop at a public toilet in Sipitang, lunch at Beaufort Town and gas station on the way to Tuaran. After we arrived at Rose Cabin, we spent our time resting for about a hour. Then we went to Kundasang Town to get some food for the dinner. We bought the food from Perkasa Hotel.

Day 2
We woke up early in the morning, at about 6.15 am. We were able to see Mt. Kinabalu's top peak, which is usually covered by clouds. At about 7.30 am, we went to Kundasang Town to find the Golf Club. I know that we can see the best view in the morning before 10 am. Too bad my friend didn't want to drive that far (7.5 km from Kundasang Town & bumpy inclined roads with Mazda3...keke!). Well, never mind about that...maybe next time.

We then headed to Poring Hot Spring at Ranau. This is a place I've been to....nothing new about it. I remember we had to reach the canopy by climbing a few hundreds metres of a steep hill and we just had had our meal and it was raining heavily. But this time, we didn't go for the canopy walk. I warned my friends already hehe.

We went to see the waterfall, but only a smaller one. Well...my friends surrendered before we agreed to go because it required them to climb some hills hehe. To kill time, I soaked my feet into the hot water bath in the provided area. I felt good after a few minutes (really was like hell at first). We bought some ice cream and then went to some wet markets before heading back to KK.

I can't really remember the time we arrived at Tabung Haji. On the way home, we ate at KFC at Ranau. At night, we spent time shopping at the Centrepoint and Warisan Square. Dinner at Pizza Hut. Back to the hotel at about 10 pm.

Day 3
Woke up at about 8 am...not exactly at 8 am...maybe a bit later than that hehe. We ate our breakfast at the hotel's restaurant and then went back to our hotel room. Rested for a while. We went shopping at noon until about 4 pm. Nuthing much to buy though. Lunch at Burger King. Went back to hotel, rested and took a quick nap. At 9 pm we we to eat seafood. Paid about RM110 for three person. Then back to the hotel. Met some Bruneians staying at the hotel (can also see from their p-license)

Day 4
Packing up, breakfast at the hotel's restaurant and went home. Not to forget buying some fruits from some markets near the road, on our way home. At Limbang, we ate our lunch at Sugar Bun and went shopping. I didn't buy anything though. A very long que at Kuala Lurah border. Back at home safely at about 6 pm.
