Road Trip: Sabah Part 2

Salamun Alaik..

Continuing my previous entry about Sabah trip, we were still in Kundasang. After our experience with the snake, we woke up the next morning with more pleasant surprise! The strong Mount Kinabalu! Subhanallah! It was tall and looked so strong. Our hotel was bad facilities one, but the scenery? It paid our money! We can clearly see the mountain from the hotel backyard. Because our breakfast is not included, we just had tuna sandwich and maggie mee for breakfast. It is more than enough. Luckily we bought some canned food and maggie all the way from Kota Kinabalu. Our breakfast was awesome with Mount Kinabalu scenery behind us. Something we wont trade with more expensive hotel.

Road Trip: Sabah Part 1

Salamun alaik...

During the last holiday, my friends and I decided to go and tour Sabah for five days. Of course, we cant tour Sabah in just five days. We just managed to go to few popular places like Kundasang, Kota Kinabalu, Tamparuli, Tuaran and Beaufort. However, it was a great getaway for us. We really enjoyed our stay even though we had gone through bad experiences with hotel services. But overall, the trip was enjoyable and we always wanted to go back there! InsyaAllah.

On 27th Nov, I touched down Kota Kinabalu airport with my friend, Nani. Nadia and her husband, Edy arrived a day later as Nadia got things to handle before leaving. I got my rented car at the airport. Akbar, the service provider came to the airport and handed me the car. It was pleasant deal until i got into the car and found  out that it is a manual car! I was shaking and called Akbar. Unlucky me, he said i never mentioned anything about wanting an auto car. So i had to drive the manual car by myself! Nani cant be rely on as she cant drive manual. And I so long since my last manual drive!
