Tabin Wildlife Reserve to Lahad Datu

We did our early morning walk and saw the resident troop of Gibbons and a large flock of Rhinoceros Hornbills.
After a relaxing morning watching the Gibbons from our veranda we departed to Lahad Datu.
We took a walk around the town. We had really only seen it last time in the dark and the daylight didn’t improve it! It was a step down from all the places we had seen to date, including a few street kids and a few beggars with their hands out which we had not seen previously.
As we wandered around town and through the market we were the only tourists around, much to the surprise of the locals.
We had supper at the same Chinese restaurant we had used previously, which was next to our hotel and very well frequented. This was an interesting affair as the menu was all in Chinese, the proprietors spoke little English and our Chinese and Malay was sorely lacking. However they were VERY friendly and we had a very good meal.Read more
