Kota Kinabalu/Sandakan Christmas Holiday 2011

Sorry for the long delay between the posts. I have been quite busy with family life, working and studying and I have been putting this off because there are just soooooooo many pictures but no more! I will (hopefully!) finally post about our holiday.

This time we went to KK for a few days (we love the beaches there) and then went on to Sandakan where we visited Turtle Island which was an amazing experience. We stayed for a couple of nights in Sandakan Town then came back to KK for a night before heading home to Brunei. We are incredibly lucky to live in this part of the world because its all so beautiful. No matter where we are we are guaranteed stunning scenes.

Like last time we went to the Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park particularly to Mamutik Island. Its the best way to spend a whole day and Zaheer was in heaven with the snorkelling. Its apparently one of the best places to go snorkelling in South East Asia.




Zaheer decided to feed the fish this time whilst he was snorkelling and they literally ambushed him. I'm a scaredy cat when it comes to snorkelling so it was really nice to see the fish as they all came up to the surface. My favourite has got to be the parrot fish. It has such a stunning vivid colour. It was very beautiful.




Next: Turtle Island!
