#9 Kinabalu Park
That weekend we decided to rent a car for two days so that we could explore other places outside KK. It was awesome. Rental was pretty cheap and views on the way were breathtaking.
First stop: Kinabalu Park. It was about an hour and a half drive from KK. We arrived almost midday but it was slightly cooler than than the city.
Look at that!
Well, to make full use of what nature has to offer, and since we decided not to climb mount Kinabalu due to certain circumstances, we thought why not we followed this trail, and had a rough idea what climbing would be like. Although in slightly inappropriate shoes and attires. Why not.
It was just for 598 metres. Just. But we didn't know it was an ascending pathway. Kidding rite.
It was funny everyone was getting slower and slower not because we're enjoying the nature so much. Towards the end we couldn't even complete our sentences.
Our motivation was probably at the end we would see something incredible or a breathtaking scenery or something. We were all excited. But unfortunately we were just greeted by a dead end and just that signpost. Kidding rite? We had a good laugh on ourselves. Oh well. At least we knew that we made a WISE decision not to climb mount Kinabalu now so that we all can work on our fitness. lol.
After the amazing trail experience, we went to the botanical garden in the park. Why not just to tick the boxes.
Good thing was they had student discounts.
I snapped pictures like i'm doing agriculture.
Well, behind there should be the highest peak but that day was really cloudy so you can just see us.
After the park we drove for about another hour to Poring Hot Spring.
This place was so jam packed with families and groups of teenagers all bathing in several small pools filled with probably just lukewarm water that time. People couldn't go in the original source of hot water since it was really that hot. I felt it.
In Poring there's also canopy walkway which was as high as this tree.
Just for 3 Ringgit.
It was frightening since I thought I could drop my camera at any time. It was seriously damn high and swinging. It was quite a long walk but we did it and it was made more fun with a group of aunties from Kedah screamed and laughed their hearts out the entire time. We couldn't help but laughed with their laughings. lol.
It was already late afternoon so before we head back to KK we decided to drop by at the Sabah tea garden. Here's where Sabah tea is from and also the not so famous CTea is made from.
The view was quite nice but not as nice as Cameron of course.
On our way back, finally the cloud decided to break apart for a while and gave us a sneak peak of the tip of mount Kinabalu. Finally I could see it live!
I drove back to KK and was welcomed with a really heavy rain, dark road and flash floods. Quite nerve-wrecking for someone who's license is still barely passing the first year of 'P'. But we made it to our places safe and sound so was really a personal victory from my side. ;o)
