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 […]

Labuk Bay Resort – Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary – After Lunch
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 […]
Labuk Bay Resort – Proboscis Monkey Sanctuary – Sandakan, Sabah
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 […]

There’s no need for aircon and the small fan isn’t switched on. Looking forwards to some nice steamboat for dinner to warm me up! The lodge is […]

Today will check out a bit more of sandaka before heading to the airport for a flight to kk. Then a nice seafood lunch at […]
Sabahan Tapai – It’s Good Stuff and it’s not Tuak!
