hello from
Kota Kinabalu, borneo. i'm sat in our hotel room on the 12th floor looking over the sea, and a nice island, its lush out here. very warm, and 10 times more humid! hence sat in the room after having a sweaty romp about town.
dad and i are taking it easy the couple of days that we are here in town, especially after the 24hour journey it took to get here! everyone i nice, and friendly, and speaks english, which i guess comes from the british influence here in the past, rthey gained their indepenence from us 50 years ago this year! its very cheap for everything, i saw some bape shoes i quite liked, well i will go shopping later. they even have a quiksilver shop, and i might find soime nice pants there!
there is a lot of fishyness! dad and i will be eating at a fish restaurant later, full of fish tanks, so you can pick which one you eat!!! i may have to eat elsewhere afterwards, it's not so veg easy here!
the hotel food is too rich, but i guess i can handle it, i can't help myself when theres a constant supply oif lovely food!
we're off to mount kinabalu tomorrow morning, for an easy days walk, and wander throiugh the jungle a little. the next day will be a bike hike up to the top camp, followed by a hike the next day to the top, and all the way to the bottom, but we shall see what happens then.
