Last stop in Borneo was Sandakan, where we took a three day trip to the Kinabatangan river which is famous for it’s remarkable wildlife and fascinating habitats.

After the awesome snorkeling on the Perhentians I decided to try Pati’s recommendation. And booked a diving course at Mabul together with Stephen. It was hard but now I am a certified PADI Open Water Diver :-)

Big caves and karst formations in an equatorial rainforest! Tour to the Pinnacles and into the Garden of Eden. Wildlife spotting. And a bat exodus. Epic.

First stop in Borneo was Kuching, where I decided to speed up a bit. Which left me one day to discover the Bako National Park!

Borneo… just speaking it aloud sounds fascinating. And here, the world is still like it should be ;-)

After sorting things out in KL I went for a few days to Melaka. An old town with a lot of history where I had a very good time. And met inspiring people!

Well, KL. A big city. However, it was a necessary stop that get some things sorted out: Book a flight to Nepal. Planning the time until my flight to Nepal. Getting laundry done ;-)

Next stop on my way south was Lake Chini. With basically unlimited tea, good food and a fantastic book I had two very nice and relaxed days there.

The Perhentians. S N O R K E L I N G! And a lot of fun!

After the heat in Penang it was great to arrive at the Cameron Highlands. Where the temperature is much more chilly. Not more than 25°C during the day and down to 16°C at night. Very refreshing!

After some contemplation I decided, that my last visit to Malaysia was not long enough and that I should give this country a second chance. And started with a visit of George Town/Penang. A food paradise, where I have had a great time!
