Malayis - KK again

After BSB we had a few days left in KK before it was time to jet out. KK itself isn't a very happening town, but it is close to a lot of nice stuff. Right off the coast is the Tunku Abdul Rahman park that consists of 5 islands surrounded by coral reefs that are perfect for snorkeling. We took a day trip to Sapi island, rented some snorkel gear and camped out in the sun.
Borneo is famous for mount Kinabalu, a 4,095 meter giant granite peak on the island. Climbing to the peak is a main attraction for a lot of visitors, but it has gotten quite expensive over the past few years, and we decided that we were ok skipping the trek. Instead we did some hiking around the base and still had some nice views of the mountain and surrounding area.
On our last day in Borneo we went to visit the hot springs near mount Kinabalu. They had individual tubs you could fill up with the spring water and then larger cold water pools to cool off in.
