Saturday 27th March - Got to Kota Kinabalu in Borneo

After 2 more flights (with more curry breakfast opportunities) we got to Kota Kinabalu Saturday lunchtime, checked into the Hyatt Regency (tall building above on the left) and Alison went out to find the first wildlife of the tour.

Another “fish” nearby with a view of the South China Sea.

Went to see the accommodation offered to budget travellers! This is a water village near the airport, one of many shanty towns the Malaysian government is getting rid of.

Another “dry” stilted shanty town near the centre of Kota Kinabalu.

Today we just wandered around the city (very hot & humid, would have dehydrated if it wasn’t for Tiger beer!) - we’ll catch up on the much-needed sleep later. Tomorrow we have a lie in then a proper city tour + cultural event + meal in the evening. Real wildlife tour starts on Monday.
