Day 6 in Malaysia, Day 1 in Kota Kinabalu (KK)
Arrived here around 3.30pm and got a taxi to the Trekkers Hostel. The atmosphere here is very friendly. People smile here a lot more than in Penang. The hostel has shared areas and the staff are very helpful.
I enjoyed walking through the markets, both food and goods. Wow, there are so many! I'd needed a panoramic camera to capture the quantity and density of stalls.
Had tuna and rice for dinner at a stall on the waterfront with a lime, soya and chilli sauce. Only 3 ringgits and delicious.
We are planning to go to Mt Kinabalu on Monday so need to sort out accommodation etc tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to going to the National Park.
KK was bombed in WWII by the British so the Japanese couldn't use it as a military base. So there are no old buildings left and the streets are wider than Penang.
