KK trip day 2

On the second day,we took a 2 hours ride from town to Kinabalu Park,which is at the heel of Mt Kinabalu.There,we entered the Botanical Garden(Rm4) and hot spring area(RM5 if you're bringing a camera).It was nothing much in the Botanical Garden but around the hot spring area,there were butterfly park,canopy walk and 2 waterfalls.Wern and I were only able to go to a waterfall name Kipungit Waterfall due to the other waterfall was too far away.We also did not have the chance to walk on the canopy because others were not interested..(RM5 each)

There were a swimming pool and quite a lot of hot spring pool.But the water came from a pipe,not directly from underground.And it wasn't really hot at all.

A small town name Tuaran where we stopped and had our breakfast.

Tuaran mee,the noodles were made of eggs,according to Sabah

The beautiful Mt Kinabalu,they too call it 神山(shen san),the mount of god.Details bout this mountain: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kinabalu

On our way back to hostel,we stopped at somewhere(i forgot the name)to get some hand made handicrafts.It was in a 'fake' rumah panjang(longhouse),where the sellers were mostly bumis(Dusun and Kadazan).Same!Everything was expensive too but a bit cheaper if you compare it with the price in town.

The fog was very heavy that day and it was quite a ride down the mountain,our tour guide-Mr. Lazarus Gubi,a very cool guy was a good driver!

The second night was the same,we didn't do anything and just chit chat around,on-lining,talking on the phone,etc.Had a good sleep for the next day,because we were to go to island!
