** check August Entry for Trip Day 4 moved the date oledi!
1st June, Gawai Festival in Sarawak.
Woke up at 4.30am, I was surprised to see there's just me and makcik awake..
Makcik cooked our food, i thought Naziah was doing all the 'Clung Clang' sound.. What do you expect? She's just 22 years old.. :) I can relate to her!
Me and hubby take the chance to snap a few more pictures of the surrounding area. This one here is right outside the kitchen window...
Had some breakfast...
3 dara pingitan.. dalsey, ujie & lisa.. my ex-students.. :-)
A little past 6 am, we're off to Kudat to see Tanjong Simpang Mengayau. One 'Saga', and what was the other car I was in? Err... Its a taxi. He agreed to be paid RM150 for a back and forth trip (Kota Belud -Kudat -Kota Belud).
A two hour ride from Kota Belud town, i can see more n more paddy fields.. I didnt know that Sabah have a vast paddy field.. It reminds me of Kedah. Only its much smaller here in Kota Belud. Farther north west to Kudat, I saw less paddy field but more hills, forests, coconut trees and palm trees.
Hehehe... pose! right before departing..
On the way to Kudat, Hubby got this..
The mighty Kinabalu Mt. they called it. On clear day like this, you can see the peak from anywhere in Sabah. I loved the view most from Politeknik Kota Kinabalu, Menggatal. The best hour is around 6- 7am. But this shot made me fall in love again n again. Im a nature lover as u can see now.. hehe
There's a lot to see on the way to Kudat. If you have more time to spend, stop by at the stalls on the road shoulder. On our way back, we get to buy roasted sweet corn. The corn were so sweet! They didn't add anything to it while roasting!
Only around 30minutes ahead, we have a rest right in front of Stesen Perhutanan (Forestry Station). Get to take some group pictures too! haha
There's a junction to the left to Tg Simpang Mengayau, and you can see more coconut trees around. Ive been searching for more information about the road to this place on the net for months before I came here and resulted only one blog update. The blogger said the road could give you back pain or something. But during my visit, there's only 5 minutes gravelled road. The rest, they're okay. (Since we have 'way much better' road in Mukah..)
Its not too bad, isn't it? Im okay with this road. It doesnt give me any pain..
We saw beach first. Then a little more drive, voila! we're here!!! Its around 11am.
More n more scenery.. Look at the blue water.. and the white beach.. wow..
Yess! Correct! You have to walk that far to get to see the real thing. Hahaha! Just stroll along. I wont be tiring. The view will make you breathless. Worth a walk!
This is the Tip of Borneo. On the Borneo map, the 'horn' is here. It's actually rocks. Big rocks.
Strike a pose! Before we get tired later on.. Hehe
The Ribena Kids.. hihi
Hehe.. the always lovey-dovey ones..
Yea, the background is the tip as seen on the map.. haha
Pass this, than you can play on the rock.. huhu
"Rehat dulu.. Tgk tu, kakak dan adik. Punyalah ganas si adik.."
Have a rest.. n eat..
There's a canteen not far from here, but its quite costly.. So, better bring your own food.
Few hours later, we went to our next stop. Mandi laut! Half way the skies seems dark, so they decided to go to this place. They call it Empangan. somewhere in between Kota Belud and Ranau. but when we get there, it starts to rain n there are a loooott of people.. hmm.. funny thing is.. siap bawak baju! bukak laundry! tu gambar kat bawah tu..
Cancel the plan, decided to go to beach again. Hoping it wont rain. But when we reach the beach, nobody wants to plunge into the water. I wonder why.. Sulking perhaps? Or upset?
Is this some kind of fishing competition? Everyone's fishing for fish. But I dont see any big fishes. Only small ones.
