Sorry it's been so long since my last post! We were planning a vacation, then we went on vacation, then came back and had to catch up on all the things that we fell behind on while we were on vacation. Did I mention we went on vacation???
Kota Kinabalu in Sabah, Borneo
Day 1 was spent sitting on the beach, finding my new Happy Place at the Shangri-La Resort. This is the view from our room, overlooking the South China Sea. We didn't budge from our recliners on the beach all afternoon.
Day 2 was chock full of fun activities, the first of which was taking a bike tour to a neaby village to check out the local markets:
And visit a local temple:
You had to pay a couple of dollars and climb nine flights of stairs to get to the top, but the view at the top was worth it:
Great view. Now if I could only find a Monkey Doing the Heisman, that would be something. Oh wait, there's one:
On the ride back, we were able to crash a local wedding party because our tour guide knew the groom. I'm pretty sure we were the curiosity of the day...
All the local houses are on stilts, which makes for a finding shade a little easier:
We were pretty tired by the time we got back to the resort, but we hauled our sweaty selves to the Nature Reserve in the back of the hotel in time to make the Orang Utan feeding. They were so cute.
And to cap off a great day, we had the pleasure of viewing a spectacular sunset in the evening:
On Day 4, we went snorkeling at a nearby island that had a beautiful little coral reef. TIP: two layers of 30 SPF sunscreen is not enough when swimming in the ocean for two hours. I'll spare you the details, but I peeled so bad I swear I was molting.
But we did find Nemo!
Vacation accomplished.
