Kota Kinabalu

This was our luxury stop over. We stayed at Le Meridien on the Harbour, looking straight out over the South China Sea. We had a mind blowing view from the 10th floor & they had up graded us to this beautiful room. There was a beautiful buffet breakfast & we all ate till we nearly exploded. I was awake at about 5am so I sat at our window & watched all the fishing boats come in. Ebony & I snuck out so I could get some pictures with the morning light.
After breakfast we ventured out to the fish markets with the kids, incredibly smelly & slippery. Very please to say no one fell in the slime. We did get out of there quite quickly though, it really did stink!
Right in front of our Hotel were the Filipino Markets as well as the night market that we visited later in the evening. We were planning to do a lot of shopping but as Air Asia had a weight limit of 15kg per person, we were already traveling at our limit. Ebony got a little monkey & Bailey got a ukulele. I bought a sarong as I had forgotten to pack one, can you believe that!
The Night Markets were great, more like a fish market but I found some food that the kids could eat, noodles & donuts. Pierre & I had a huge tiger prawn cook fresh for us & some squid. Both delicious & without any consequences. Thank god! We even managed to get to the airport on time to catch out flight to Tawau, short flight only 45 minutes.
The kids slept the whole way on the plane, in the van, in the foyer, up to the room where there was only one bed for the 4 of us...
