Sandakan - Kinabatangan

So got to Sandakan via bus which was 8.5 hours long - not doing that again. Checked into Sandakan backpackers hostel in my private room and just chilled out after dinner. Met a Malay guy on the bus who followed me on tik tok. Next day, I went to buli sim sim for breakfast dumplings which was unreal, super hard to find the restaurant. After that, went back and got picked up by my tour to Kinabatangan river for a river safari. Spoke with a Dutch family on the way there and made friends with some German people Joschka, Jannic and Alina who I spent most of my time with on the cruises and walks. Also met a Dutch couple who were lovely, the mum even gave me her daughters info so I can message her about Google. Did a sunset river tour, night river tour, sunrise river tour, jungle walk, sunset river tour and night walk to cap it off. Also walked to town with my friends to get some drinks which took it out of me. Saw SO MANY monkeys, proboscis, macaques and silver tail. Saw Orang-Utan twice in the same tree which was very lucky! Tiny crocodiles, rare birds like the hornbill and eagle. The food was unreal too in a buffet style format. Such a good time here and will remember it for a while.Read more
