Many of us have travelled as far afield as London, but have not found the time to explore our own backyard, which can be as exotic and exciting. On this premise, I have decided to embark on road trips around Sabah, inspired by travellers to some of Sabah’s exciting destinations. My first road trip took me northward from Kota Kinabalu to Kota Belud, detouring to Mantanani Jetty before proceeding to Kota Marudu for lunch and onward to Simpang Mengayau (Borneo’s northernmost tip) to awe at nature’s wonder. I spent the night in Kudat at a quaint little hotel, Ria Hotel, and dined in a Chinese restaurant in its vicinity. That was 20 September 2014 The next day, 21 September 2014, after breakfast in Kudat, I returned to Kota Marudu, where I exchanged a merchandise I purchased the day before. A few kilometres out of Kota Marudu, I visited Bavanggazo, which showcases a Rungus longhouse. I then backtracked to Kota Belud to catch the famous Sunday Tamu, which I barely missed. From Kota Belud, where I lunched, I traversed the high road to Kundasang, from where I swung to Mesilau to commune with nature. I stopped by at Kundasang to purchase some vegetables and to savour some durians before returning to Kota Kinabalu, resting briefly on the way to taste some sinalau bakas. Please see pictures of this road trip in my Personal Album....
