Poring Hot Springs SABAH

Lepas dah bersejuk tgok Gunung Kinabalu kat atas tu, we depart to Poring Hot Springs.. tempat kolam air panas..
lepas lunch , dah petang sikit , terus semua serbu sana.. Lunch kat luar pintu masuk Poring tu.. ada gerai next to some souvenir shops kat situ..

makan yg simple2 jer lat gerai tu.. Nasi Gpreng kampun dia sedap..

Eimran dah tak sesabar dah nak mandi..
ada fees to pay for the ticket murah jer.. RM2 , warga emas RM1 jer.. kalau tak silapla.. dah lupa pun..
perjalanan masuk tak jauh mana pun.. but actually kitorang tak mandi pun.. bebudak ni yg beriaya nak mandi.. so layan jer lah..
Ni air sungai dia, unfortunately tak dibenarkan mandi, reason tak pasti kenapa...
Kat Poring ni dia sediakan berbagai tempat mandi, dari swimming pool sampai ke kolam2 kecik for the kids , for adults dua orang boleh lah masuk..
Dan juga kolam2 panjang utk kita panaskan kaki , mcm fish spa tu.. tapi like I said, dah memang tempat Kolam Air Panas.. airnya tersangatlah panas......
Aleesya & Hanna memang sukalah berendam kan sampaikan taknak keluar..

The kids memang enjoy giler, sampaikan taknak keluar.. Kolam kecik2 ni of courselah ada 2 tap, air panas & air sejuk.. so takde masalahlah bebudak nak berendam selama mana pun...

Anyway kitorang berdua tak lepak lama , lepas urut kaki we decided to explore the place...

I feel you .. Gunung Kinabalu ;)

Dah nak masuk Ramadhan dah , insyaallah, esok kita berpuasa .
Ni nak sambung balik the Joy of the Trip to KK.. so the day that we wanted to see & get as near as we can to Gunung Kinabalu.. so we went to the nearest , the best view that you can see...
Nabalu , very small area kat atas tu.. cuma ada a small pasar tamu.. and since the pagi still awal, org pun dah start ramai kat Pasar tu..


the moment we reach the top of the area.. sigh **** cantik gila ... ** faint ... cant describe you more... bila dah tgok depan mata.. Masya'allah.. besar nya kekuasaan Allah.. the feeling is soo different...
dari area pasar tamu tu you can see the view of the peak.. memang cantik sangat...
rasa macam mimpi bila dah ada kat depan mata... cant imagine if we were the one yg dapat sampai ke puncak nya kan.. I guess the feeling sis priceless...
so, of cos it's the photo sessions time for semualah.. he.. he... excited ;)
I really love this one ;)

lepas dah puas berphoto session kat situ.. as kena give ways to other tourist yg semua pun ank amik gambar kat situ kan.. we stolled around kat Pasar Tamu or Pasar Pagi tu.. tak byk brg basah , more to barang2 kering..

plastic TESCO pun kena imitate kan.. he.. he.. dijula as garbage bag and also shopping bag.. aiyo , matilah..
nenek yg gigih ke pasar pepagi ni.. The Pasar byk gak jual brg2 rumah , brg2 macam kerepek , etc,, tapi not buying anything pun..
next to the Pasar Tamu ada souvenir shops , besar gak.. so kat situ ada mcm2 from Kain Samarinda Sabah, bracelets , key chain , tshirts etc... and the pricce a bit cheapaer lah.. but still you have to really bargain up to 50%....
tshirt cantik2 kat Sabah ni compared kalau kita gi Pangkor ke.. Penang ker.. and the price is very lah the cheap nya...
Like I said perhiasan , key chain memang memacam kat sini.. rasa macam nak beli semua.. But since we havent gi Philipine Market a.k.a Pasar Filipina, so we decided beli lebih kurang jer...

last view before leaving the beautiful Gunung Kinabalu.. till we meet again ;)

I feel you .

KK Day 2 - Mencari Gunung Kinabalu

Breakfast for the morning.. tak pernah cukup korum bfast sepanjang kat Sabah ni.. he.. he.. ada aja ahli rombongan yg terbabas..

2nd day kat sini is our first Bfast in KK , the bfast buffet kul 830am dah ada.. kan KK ni cepat terang.. kalau kul 830am pagi tu dah panas cam kul9am kat KL..

Pagi ni family Angah lewat, so diaorg tak gi buffet bfast, tapi minum kat gerai bawah jer..

Aleesya doing her touch up after bfast.. budak kecik ni berhantu ngan make up mak dia.. memang kaki melawa ni..
the van yg membawa kitorang ke sana sini sepanjang di KK.. Actually bersepah sana sini , the van yg cam gini.. it's the tourist van lah.. memang u can see it everywhere lah..
Api Api Centre .. semua ada kat sini.. cam One Stop Centre, you can see that org ramai lalu lalang kat jln ni as this is the shortcut from the Bus Station to town..Promenade ni betul2 tgah town.. so sebab tu area dia memang sentiasa busy..
the Promenade Hotel ..
Stop kat Shell sebelum the journey diteruskan sebab lepas ni 2 hours journey gak.. no toilet break..

Pagi ni agenda nak pergi tgok Gunung Kinabalu.. no, not going to panjat gunung , but we will be going to Kundasang , area yg you can see the clear view of Gunung Kinabalu..
Sepanjang jalan tu jugak lalu mcm2 pekan kecil kat KK bi.. Beaufort, Ranau etc.. then only I dapat the real idea of living in Sabah ni.. unless u r in KK , the rest of the town memang jauh dari KK town, memang pedalaman habis.. lack of facility , takde public transport etc..
then only u appreciated kekadang the busy life in KL, the LRT, MRT, Highway , jammed etc.. those are developement..

Unless u really nak duk dediam kat kampung.. if not .. think twice ya..
sepanjang jalan tu.. you can see siskit2 dah the Beautiful Gunung kinabalu..amazing kan.. kejap dia kat kiri, kejap dia kat kanan.. he.. he.. so sebab tu tak boleh lambat , kena gerak awal, takut nanti awan dah penuh tak nampak lak dia..
dah nampak sesikit , tu pun dah happy giler.. ;)

and we are coming nearer each minutes.. wuhooo !!!!!

Klias River Cruise Sabah

From Tg Aru ke Klias , ambil masa nearly 2 hours.. ditambah pulak journey time tgahrai.. ngantuk giler semuanya...

and sepanjang jalan gak, hujan renyai2 so, agak sejuklah suasana.. memang mengantuk dibuatnya.. Jalan nak ke Klias ni jalan kampung..
Dah sampai kat Klias River Cruise. Ramai gak member2 yg org Sabah pun tak pernah sampai kat sini.. he.. he.. That's the beauty of being a tourist , selalunya wwe'll get the chance to go tempay yg tak common..
Banyak tempat yg offer the River Cruise ni, tapi sib baik tempat yg we went ni plg best sekali , besar & selesa..

The Cruise comes in a package , from Tea Time , the Cruise nak tgok the Monkey , Buffet Dinner & cruise tgok the fireflies.. so sebab tu the timing for all the rombongan lebih kurang sama jer...
bot2 yg dah ready as the cruise starta at 5pm.. we reach there at 4pm, just nice for tea time.. sebab the journey jauh sangat.. sampai2 semua dah lapar..

tea time comes with tea / coffee and kuih2 .. cukup banyak utk alas perutlah..
Didi wondering apa ada kat dalam hutan paya bakau tu.. I guess paya bakaulah..
by 530pm we all pun startlah.. banyak giler bot yg berlepas.. so when you gerak, you will be berselisih ngan bot2 lain.. even frm Cruise yg lain..
air dia walaupun camni, tapi ada buaya tu.. siap kitorang siap nampak lagi.. huh.. terus semua tak berani letak tangan dalam air..
The main reason for the Cruise is nak tgok the Proboscis Monkey.. okay.. serious , sampai kat KK Museum tadi baru first time dengar nama monkey ni.. dia cam Monkey yg perutnya preggy.. he.. he.. both ya, Jantan & Betina.. and these Proboscis Monkey ada kat sini jer..
So we have to go sepanjang sungai tu.. once nampak Monkey tu , boat akan stop & let everybody tgok, amik gambar etc.. best giler like we have to search for the Monkey.. so boat yg nampak akan alert the rest of the boats..
the 2 hours memang jeourney memang best & semua pun enjoy giler.. boat tu laju pulak tu..
ni part nak masuk celah2 tu pulak.. masa nilah nampak Biawak , buaya semua.. macam cerita Anaconda plak feelin2 masa ni..
these are the cruise punya stoplah.. for boat yg to rest & stop for dinner before sambung balik for the Fireflies Session..
Cantik betul the view sepanjang the cruise ni... tak puas rasanya.. a totally new experience ..

so, after the 2 hours, we all balik ke Jetty tadi for the Dinner.. and the dinner jugak sangat sedap, lauk2 dia pun terasa lah.. plus siap ada bihun sup panas2 lagi..

lepas dinner semua , sambung balik at 8pm for the fireflies session plak.. kebetulan musim kelip2 kot.. memang nasib kitorang baik.. so baru gerak sikit jer.. dah nampak byk giler kelip2..
oh okay takde gambar sebab dah taklarat nak amik gambar.. lagipun dah gelap gelita malas plak nak fokus ke kelip2 tu.. tak cantik jadinya..

the view of the fireflies ? speechless lah.. amazed sangat.. as that was my first experienced.. byk giler, pokok2 besar tu dah jadfi mcm pokok krismas...

lepas the fireflies viewing session, we all balik KK balik.. s o sepanjang perjalanan tu plak hujan renyai renyai.. dan memang area tu lembab jer.. so semua pun bantai tidor dlm van..
sampai hotel balik.. dah around 1030pm.. sempat lagi stop for teh tarik session sebab semua dah lapar balik...

and it's only our first nite at KK.. ;)
