Kota Kinabalu (KK) is a gateway city to explore Sabah, Malaysia. We spent a few days around the city and then took a road trip north to explore the base of Mt Kinabalu and it's imposing 4, 200m peak. Often covered in cloud, it was a treat to get these views of the summit. The forest vista's could easily have been home in NZ. A9 spotted our first venomous snake on the edge of the trail. A quick dip in the Poring hot springs and sad history lesson of the poor aussie and british troops lost during the sandakan death marches during WW2. Onward northwest to the beaches. Barely inhabited, we had this little cove to ourself apart from monkeys, dogs, 6 goats and a cow who loved knocking over the rubbish bin and pushing it around with her horns!
