2nd July: Kinabalu Park.
6 am: up and about, waiting for our guide from our tour company. Was to be picked up at about 7 am. Guide did not show. Turns out that there was a miscommunication and they were expecting to pick us up only on the 3rd. Waited another 1.5 hr in a coffee shop, drinking more Kopi O ais. There's something rather comforting, or perhaps even nostalgic about being up and about in the early hours in a small town. None of this hurried rush that you'd get in the big city.
9 am: Guide turns up. Jamil and from then on, we were in good hands. Stopped by the Kundasang in our efforts to buy a guitar. Kundasang's a pretty interesting place. It was Tamu (market day) and we had everything on sale. Produce, poultry, homewares and more used-looking clothings (even possibly underwear, which was a little disconcerting). We booked accommodation outside the park, and the view from our view was pretty spectacular. Kinabalu is pretty spectacular anyway.
We are planning to get where???
Kundasang market
View from hostel.
