Here we are at the Kota Kinabalu airport waiting to begin our journey home. Killing time is made oh so much easier by this yummy salted caramel mocha frappacino (and free wifi of course). So tasty that I am regretting all those times I walked past a Starbucks in KK, saw the advert for them … Continue reading

All good things must come to an end…
Checking the view from the resort one last time… Packed and ready to go 😦
Late night shopping
After our day by the pool and evening at the beach, I even found time to do a spot of shopping! When we returned to the resort from dinner, I was tempted to have a look in the gift shop on site. Much better than anticipated! Here is my little purchase – a summer scarf … Continue reading
Tanjung Aru – take two
Following on from my last post about Tanjung Aru beach, I am pleased to report that our experience there last night was delightful. We arrived at about 5:30pm to catch the sunset – not as spectacular as the one that we witnessed the night before, but it made for an idillic spot none the less. … Continue reading

We were lucky enough to view two adult females (one was particularly cheeky!) in the rehab area and a baby male in the nursery. He … Continue reading
Loving the honeymoon turndown service!
A sweet surprise upon our return to the room after dinner – such a shame we will only get to honeymoon once! Unless we renew our vows regularly… Surely it must be good karma to honeymoon after that as well!
I am officially a buffet convert
I am sitting here writing a post-dinner blog to allow my dinner to settle. When Paul suggested the buffet for dinner here at the Magellan Sutera Resort, I thought he was crazy. He persisted after my initial ‘no’ response and urged me to at least look at it. When I spotted an assortment of seafood, … Continue reading
