It took a day to travel from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu
(bus>ferry>ferry>walk (almost dying of heat exhaustion)>taxi) so we
treated ourselves to an £8 full body massage in which I spent the first 15
minutes thinking the woman was trying to kill me, and the following 45 minutes
in ecstasy!
And the best thing about arriving in KK?!...A certain wonderful sister
of mine was coming to meet us! We picked up a very excited Claire from the
airport and after 24 hours in a glorious Air BnB by the beach, we then headed
up the coast by boat, then by ferry to the tropical island of Mantananni. Think
crystal clear water, white sand, chameleons, monitor lizards, huts on stilts
and sunsets to die-for!
Here we spent a wonderful few days catching up, lazing
around, snorkelling (probably the best coral I’ve ever seen!), walking, playing
cards, trying to teach Claire how to play Shithead (and failing miserably), drinking
warm beer and lathering on factor 50 to avoid frying ourselves in the overwhelming
heat!
Simply heaven!
