Poring Hot Spring, Sabah

Poring Hot Spring has always been a get away location which provide a nice, hot spring for a dip. It is also surrounded by the wonderful forest. driving from Kota Kinabalu, we have to go through Kundasang and also the foot of Mount Kinabalu. We stop by the Kota Kinabalu National Park HQ before proceed to Poring Hot Spring.

We stop at each nice location to enjoy the scenery, often stopping by for photo shoot and also to taste the local delicacies. We fill our stomach with the local noodle at Ranau before we proceed to Poring Hot Spring.

Kota Kinabalu, Sabah: View from the air

It was a long awaited vacation. I was tired out after continuously travelling and conducting the Localised Nature Guide course. The course was a certification course by Ministry of Tourism for the public who wants to be license as Nature Tourist guide.

As we board the aeroplane and leaving Kuching. I was happy to go on a vacation. A much needed rest. As the plane approach Kota Kinabalu International Airport, we were welcome by the wonderful sight of green and the welcoming blue sea.

A view of development of KK from the air. We love KK and hope to have a property in Sabah for vacation.

The Yayasan Sabah building; the round metalic building.

A welcoming blue sea. One of our vacation site will be at Sapi and Manukan Island, we are going snorkeling and enjoying the beautiful beach and sea. Wish that i can go fishing in Sabah. Hopefully, some Sabahan will invite me to go fishing.

I love nature and Sabah have one of the best place that satisfied my adventure needs... from oceon to the mountain. But this trip, we were unable to go up Mount Kinabalu. Next trip will be Mount Kinabalu and the surrounding. The last time i went up mount Kinabalu was more than 10 years ago. The view, sight, smell and sweat still fresh in my mind.
