I arrived home from Kota Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo yesterday morning and despite a lot of sleep and even napping on the plane, I'm still buggered. Oh yeah, and I have a kidney infection to boot. Woohoo!
I had a wonderful time in KK. I adore Malaysia, and my second trip did nothing to reduce the adoration. I've decided to spend at least one week a year in Malaysia, as it is such a wonderful place to explore.
I swam in crystal clear water on a private beach on an Island in the South China Sea, drank mocktails under the spectacular sunsets over Dalit Bay, got a bit of a tan and two henna tattoos, watched Orang-utans from just a few feet away, and worked my butt off - but still had time for some minor shopping (two pairs of shoes, two sarongs, some coasters, a couple of batik fans, a pair of 'PRADA' sunglasses, some lovely bamboo placemats, some triathlon mags and some candy).
I managed to lose my precious noise-reducing Sennheiser headphones at Melbourne airport before jumping on two flights totalling 10 hours. Feck. Then, on day two in KK, my precious Canon A430 decided to have lens issues. The message 'lens error, restart camera' is still haunting my dreams.
Fortunately, I took my iPhone so was able to get most of the shots I wanted thanks to the great iPhone camera. Not having a flash in the 3GS camera is a pain in the posterior though, but I struggled through and managed to get a good couple of hundred photos. Here's a selection of the best:
More to follow when I'm less jetlagged and tired and grumpy!
