Translation – a date with the amazing orangutans at the Shangri La Rasa Ria orangutan rehabilitation centre. Sadly, no petting or cuddles – naturally this would not aide their rehab. 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
The view from our dinner table at Magellan Sutera Resort, Kota Kinabalu
Eyes too big for our bellies!
Once again, Paul and I stuffed ourselves silly at Suang Tain Seafood Restaurant. Tonight’s dishes were stir fried choy sum, scallops with ginger and spring onion, crab with salted egg, beef noodles, lemon crispy skin chicken and the fried eggplant that we sampled last night. Mmm, mmm, mmm! The aftermath!
Tanjung Aru beach
In my last blog I made mention of some dodgy reviews and Tanjung Aru beach was one of them. Definitely not the beautiful beach that was described, with the litter strewn the whole way along not helping its cause. There are, however, a number of outdoor bars and dining venues, so no doubt this place … Continue reading
Twin-Sky – one review that was on the money
We set off on foot last night to find Twin-Sky Seafood restaurant, or more specifically, Suangtain Seafood at Kampung Air. Having followed some reviews from both trip advisor and our travel guide book on this trip, I was not feeling confident. I am pleased to report that this restaurant did live up to the reviews … Continue reading
Time for some retail therapy
Following our Sunday Market excursion, Paul and I made our way to the most modern shopping mall that I have come across so far in KK – Suria Sabah. Naturally, I was drawn into the Coach store first (but I was very, very good!) and then we made our way to Starbucks for a long … Continue reading
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig
Well, we didn’t really set off to buy a fat pig, however I am sure that we could have had we so desired! Yesterday Paul and I got up early to visit to Sunday Market – a market that seems to get lots of reviews and was also close by to where we were staying. … Continue reading
Goodbye Gayana
Knowing that all good things must come to an end, I was still dragging my thong-clad feet yesterday when we had to leave Gayana Eco Resort – our ‘home’ for the past 5 days. We managed to have another blissful day before our departure however, starting with breakfast: We took in the amazing sights, including … Continue reading
