Mt. Kinabalu

Sorry I've been really slack at posting this week, I'll try to be better. Anyhow, here is my Sabah adventure continued....

Here we are at Mt. Kinabalu head quarters after our 2 hour journey by minibus.

We checked in at the main lodge and made the 15 minute trek to our Hill Lodge carrying all our luggage. We struggled up to the top of the hill carrying all our luggage, slowing down to low gear while climbing up to the top of the hill, thinking about how we are ever going to make it up to the top of Mount Kinabalu when we can hardly walk up the hill to our accomodations! And of course our place was the very last one at the end, but we finally made it and were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at our little hut.

They didn't have any hostel accomodations available so we took what ever they had and originally thought that we would move to the hostel the second night, but we couldn't bring ourselves to leave this beautiful cozy little hut into the not so luxurious, hostel with shared bathrooms and bunk bed dormitory rooms.

Here is the view from our balcony.


It was clouded over that afternoon we arrived, but the next morning when we woke up.... it was absolutley breathtaking. And to think that we were going to be on top of that mountain in a coupe days!
