8th July: Finally, it's the last day we'll be in Borneo. The last day's the most treasured moment; hoping the day won't pass so fast. Malcom's not with us today as he's going to Sarawak to continue his studies. However, the last day we went to the Tip Of Borneo (a.k.a Simpang Mengayau) in Kudat although it took us bout 2 1/2 hrs drive from Kg. Telibong.
Along the journey, the scenary's very relaxing and peaceful.
About 7km before reaching to the Simpang Mengayau, there'll be no tar road. Sabahan'll say "Jalan grabel" which means gravel road... Kaka... (I was about to look for dictionary what 'grabel' means xD). It's better to use on off road vehicle unless you want to trash your car.
After 2 1/2 hrs, we reached to the tip.
The scenary was...
It's like at the end of the world.
The wind's strong... Remember to eat more before you come.
Yellowbanana fan spotted...
Then we stopped by at the beach near the tip of Borneo to take our lunch. You won't be seeing anyone there. Perhaps of the strong waves.
I don't feel like leaving this place... Kakaka...
Our next destination & also the final destination's the Rungus Longhouse.
The house's made of split bamboo.
Illegal sex...? Here you go...
Beadwork by the Rungus women.
The host explained about the game which you need to solve in order to marry the Rungus lady. Meanwhile, Wonderboy was trying the other IQ test which is given to the longhouse visitors at olden days. In order to save their head being chopped, they need to solve the quiz in the time given. Luckily they din't practise it present day, or else we're dead.
At the price of RM50, you can stay for a night with food & other activities provided. We will give a try next Borneo visit.
Variety of nice bracelets & neckless are sold...
...and I got some at a very reasonable price.
That's all our 5-day Borneo trip.
Nicely shaped cloud at the peak of Mt. Kinabalu when we're on our way to KK. Perhaps Mt. Kinabalu greets us goodbye.
Before we leave, we had our dinner in KK city with Nini (Kev's cousin sis), Kenny & Canisius (my seniors).
The last pic from Borneo.
