Kota Kinabalu, 3 Days 2 Nights

this is my first time as a 3days 2nights tour guide..

my friend came all the way from KL and visit me here at Kota Kinabalu 

I'm not very good at this but at least I can give low cost, cheap and affordable tour tips

especially for students because we are students

Kota Kinabalu for sure have to go island

so we went to 2 islands, Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi

go to Jesselton Point which is located at the city, and there got lot agency try to pull you and give u so many information about activities and islands over there

so no need to worry, you will be directed

Pulau Manukan not recommended, try Pulau Sapi or Pulau Mamutik

Pulau Manukan beautiful place

There's chalet too..can check out the price and information..just google

you will fall in love deeply

you can prepare and bring your own food over too

if you didnt prepare dont worry, each island selling food but not much choices

we chose to hop 2 islands in a day

we reached Jesselton Point at 9am then spend few hours at Pulau Manukan

then hop to Pulau Sapi at 12pm

you can choose to stay at 1 island but if you can choose 2 islands why not?

as usual, snorkeling, banana boat and lot activities there

life jacket, the mask cost rm10/each roughly that price

if you need one contact your agent =)

Pulau Sapi.. I prefer here more

tired tired day..sunburn is unavoidable haha

then we walked around at the city

opposite Suria Sabah which 10minutes walking distance from Jesselton Point have this amazing unwanted left building full of mural painting, well in the other word, vandalism haha

although I dont know this is vandalism or meant to be a tourism spot as well

but because of some people whose hand itchy, the beautiful spot became not pretty already

it used to be nice but because somebody spoil it by add more not artistic drawing so it became disaster 

nice place for an abandoned spot

if you ignore those unwanted sketches it actually very nice

dinner can go to restaurant near there

an old kinda dirty restaurant but serve delicious food

located at Ang's Hotel, opposite Wisma Merdeka

is a chinese restaurant

try it out..

first day ended because so tired..after a day island hopping

next day you can visit the chilling chilling place, Kundasang

we called a van, tour van who fetch us and it's not expensive though, rm500/van and can fit 10 people

he will fetch us 3 places, Kundasang, the park..Poring, the hot spring.. and Mesilau, the cow farm..

all the way to Kundasang we will pass by Pekan Nabalu

every tour bus will stop by here

there's a spot for you to take picture of the Mount Kinabalu

unfortunately, super cloudy and only see cloud

pretties and the cloud no mount Kinabalu

there got a lot of stalls..selling local food like tuhau, fruits..

they selling snacks as well.. amplang, kuih cincin..

of course beside food, souvenirs too.. keychain, t-shirt, hat

welcome to Pekan Nabalu, spot the left bottom picture, is a Gong, a traditional music instrument

alright after Pekan Nabalu, next stop is Kundasang Park

reached Timpohon View

this place for tourist to see the Mount Kinabalu Peak as well but because the cloud keep following wherever we go, so only can see cloud and no peak

Timpohon View..all of us, 10 in total

there have some office showing a lot information like the history, the largest flower Rafflesia's information and a lot more

alright, nothing much to do there since is cloudy so we go the next destination Poring, the hot spring

erm, I dont really fancy that hot spring because it seems not so hygiene although you can pay for a more personal place but I still dont feel like enjoying it, so we go to the canopy walk..

here a lot places to go if you dont feel like putting your leg into a same tub with others

you need to pay for the canopy walk and of course your camera need to pay too haha

not expensive only rm5/camera...

of course canopy walk we have to walk up high high then only can go on the bridge..

so all the way up is not that tough i can wear so pretty and walk it with sandals

it is worth to walk it

  

done with Poring here we go to Mesilau, the Desa Dairy Farm

this is the place I want to go so badly!! because it looks like New Zealand

here is where they produce Desa Dairy milk..

they actually have this session for people to visit and milk processing thingy, it open at 3pm

try to make it around at time to cow farm

i like the green grass..dont worry no cow poo poo

really like New Zealand rite??

and if not so cloudy you can see the peak 

done with green grass, mountain and skies now with rock

besides cow farm, there's War Memorial Park too..can pay a visit if want =)

all right..i'm done for 2 days trip here

these 2 days really tiring both day used up whole day

from Kota Kinabalu city to Kundasang took around 2 hours so it's not so far

if you decided to drive up yourself no problem is not that hard..just a way to go

but I dont like these bumpy up hill road haha so I will never drive up

next I'm going to share the food post haha

my blog often about food and this post no food at all because I'm saving it for next post

when my friends visit, we took a whole day just to eat out at KK

come back next time for food post haha..maybe few days later and all about food =)
