Kota Kinabalu Part 3

There are just sooooooooo many pictures to go through so not many words on this one..........

Day 4 consisting of going to the Sabah Museum. We weren't really expecting that great a museum experience as Brunei and nearby areas aren't known for their amazing museums but we were pleasantly surprised. It was located in a beautiful part of KK and it was a really nice day out. They had a huuuuuuuuuuge skeleton of a whale at the entrance which won Yusuf over instantly. So all in all it was worth going to.

We started off the day walking to the Viewpoint. This is where you can see most off KK. The walk there was really pretty. Very different to Brunei in that there wasn't rainforest everywhere!


(Apart from here- on the way to the viewpoint)

(KK)

After that we took a taxi to the museum.

We couldn't take any pictures inside the museum so after we had seen it we went on a walk.

(I think this was bamboo although im not sure- it was such a vivid shade of red. Very striking)

(Rickety bridge- had a lot of fun swinging it when Zaheer was trying to walk across it!)

They had lots of trails and a garden centre and also a Heritage Village area where the actual houses that the natives live in were reconstructed for the public. They even had longhouses. It was a really unique experience in that we could climb inside and have a look around everywhere to see how they lived. It was brilliant.






It was quite a long day. In the evening we met up with the Australian couple from yesterday (Troy and Bronwyn) for dinner and then went to a restaurant/bar nearby where they had live music. The band was amazing! they did every song possible (even Muse Sarah!! and it was quite good!) It was a nice end to the day.



And now we have a CAPTION COMPETITION!!! I took the following picture at a police station in KK. We found it hilarious!

Zaheers caption is DANCERS WLL BE SHOT.

What's yours?
