Borneo…Borneo…oh Borneo…you make me cry, make me feel so impressed, humble and quiet…And yet we know each other only for a small week. I can only try to honor and capture your blinding beauty as good as I can.
Bako national park: From Kuching a 45min bumpy noisy ride on the bus, followed by a wobbly 30min in a tiny boat over the coastlines of the south china sea. And the sea here is euhmm…good for feetbathing, not for swimming… very shallow and the current would drag you to heaven.

I’m now in Kota Kinabalu, where I’ll climb the highest mountain in SE Asia to see sunrise from the top. It’s 4,5 km heigh, hehe.
