Kinabalu National Park

Today we both went on the tour to Kinabalu National Park. Our first stop was a lookout to Mount Kinabalu where there were also some market stalls.

We continued on our way, up into the foothills, and entered the park. The walk we were supposed to do was closed due to a bees nest. We went to the botanical gardens where we saw different orchids and some pitcher plants. We then drove down to Poring Hot springs and had lunch before walking up to the canopy walkway. Unfortunately as soon as I set foot on the bridge I knew it was too wobbly and couldn’t do it. I gave it a second go but no way. Simon went and later said I made the right choice.

I walked back down the hillside and met back up with Simon and the guide. Back in the minibus we did a short drive to go to see a Rafflesia on its first day of flowering.

We then drove back to KK and dinner in the hotel.Read more
