Mt Kinabalu to Kota Kinabalu

We decided to throw the towel in with our digs in Kundasang and head back to Kota Kinabalu.
Enough of comparatively expensive accommodation with thread bare towels, sheets with holes, mattress with springs sticking out and a toilet which doubled up as a shower.
We did find a very nice cafe in Kundasang with lovely views towards the Crocker Range. In chatting to the proprietor it transpired she had studied Biomedical Science at the University of Queensland. The whole complex was very well maintained and restored our faith in Kundasang. We were just unlucky with our choice of accommodation.
In the Kundasang area the farmers grow a lot of vegetables so the markets are full of veggies. This is also the durian season so the heavy smell of ripe durian drifted over the markets.
We wended our way to Kota Kinabalu stopping at a market along the way. The drive was fairly slow due to the traffic.
We went out to a fish restaurant in the evening recommended by the cafe proprietor and had a very nice red snapper and noodles, unfortunately our lobster didn’t quite match up.Read more
