So our guide let us know of a semi-wild Orangutan named Jackie that lived somewhere in Kinabalu park. Most of the time she stayed in the jungle, but she did enjoy human contact and came out now and then to see who was around.
Our guide was friendly with the people who stayed around the area [...]

After our adventures at the Monsopiad Cultural Village we headed back to KK city to stay overnight at Hotel Shangri La.
We had a free and easy night so we asked the guide and some others where we could get some good seafood, we should have Googled it first of course but we didn't have any [...]

So after our trip to the picturesque Puu Jih Shih Temple in Sandakan we checked out the rest of the town.
We visited a church which is part of the heritage trail called St. Michael's and All Angels Church. A quaint little church finished in the early 1900s, it reminds of those little village churches back [...]

It's been a while since my last post about Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary – Sabah, Malaysia, and I've got some other travel stuff coming up so I better finish this series off!
We headed off to Sandakan after that and had lunch at the Ocean King Seafood restaurant, despite it being touted as a tourist trap [...]

It's been a while since my last Sabah post (Sepilok Jungle Resort - Checking in And Relaxing & Review), but seen as though I went recently it's spurned me to continue.
Sepilok Orang Utan Sanctuary is somewhere everyone should visit at some point in their life, people come from all over the World to see it [...]

Well it's that day again - December 31st! Time to usher in a new year and bid farewell to the year that has gone by. It's been quite a year for me, good and bad - ups and downs.
In all honestly it's not been a great year, especially the latter half. I'm fully hopeful however [...]

So after our previous day in Labuk Bay Resort we got up early for breakfast and glorious sunshine.

Yeah it was real hot!
Feeding time was around 11am, we already had plenty of pictures though so we just enjoyed the natural habitat. The turn-out wasn't as good as the previous day anyway (it wasn't that bad - [...]

So after a short rest from morning feeding (time to copy the pictures to my Nexto PSD) it was off out to another location for lunch.
We headed out in the muddy yet reliable truck, you can see the storm in the distance that we drove into..

The place we had lunch was really in the middle [...]

So we arrived in Sabah to rain sadly, we got there quite early in the morning direct to Sandakan from KL and were picked up promptly by our first guide Adam - a very knowledgeable local tribal guy from the Sandakan area (I forget which tribe he was from, but he said they were river [...]

Earlier in the year I went for a 5 day trip to Sabah, you might remember I posted a picture of Jackie the Orang Utan when I got back.
Well now I think it's time I started writing about it.
We started out by asking around for a good agent, as we had a limited time and [...]
