Sunday 28th March

Did a  Kota Kinabalu city tour – stop number one was the state mosque – influenced by the Blue Mosque in Turkey – seemingly floating on water.

Alison found a 6-tusked white elephant and its lion friend at a Buddhist temple.

Also saw close up some traditional Borneo longhouses – this one had its own veranda and boathouse.

The inside of this one could do with a bit of sprucing up!

Went to a nice meal + show where a local dancer was helped out by a bloke called Terry from our table – luckily we were both “busy” when volunteers were required on stage.

This is the view from our balcony on the last afternoon in Kota Kinabalu – tomorrow at 9.00am we’re off into the rainforest, the first night at a lodge outside Mount Kinabalu Park.
