Family reunion Sabah trip : Day 4- Kinabalu Park - Tuaran

Woke up to the sound of bird chirping, this is the last day of our Sabah trip.
9am: Drove to Kinabalu Park which is merely 500m from our J residence.

                  Snapshot with Mt KK as backdrop at Kinabalu Park car park

    Drove there because we are going to save energy for morning jog at Kinabalu park later.

Morning jog encounter, giant millipede that stood in our way.

                            The stairs led to Kinabalu Park hotel lobby car park

                My youngest brother getting impatient with the jog.

                              Entrance to Timpohon check point

One of the more popular route via Timpohon Gate to the peak

                      2 trails leading up Mt KK.

The foreigners were warming up for the challenging climb to the highest peak in southeast asia.

    I started my PR to greet an old caucasion, who is at early sixties, trying to tackle Mt KK.
            "You are not joking, are you?" i thought.

           10am : returned to hotel for breakfast. Simple breakfast at the veranda.

11am : Checked out from J residence, photo with the staff, Miss Imelda, local from Tamparuli, kind and warm hearted lady that is very helpful. Thanks to both of them for helping us starting the fire during our BBQ.

Definitely a top recommendation for J Residence!

"How much i hope i could come with my love one to this secluded place again, instead being the master planner,  I want to just chill and relax with her, provided that she will appreciate the beauty of mother nature." I looked blankly at our little chalet for the last time before leaving this lovely place.

                           Winding road KK-Kundasang

Won't want to miss the scenic view. Behind was the Starex that drove us in the last 2 days.

1pm: Eating Tuaran Mee at Tuaran town. This shop is located just opposite Shell petrol station when you reach Tuaran town. The lunch is only RM39, authentic and tasted superb.

2pm: A short visit to UMS, too bad the aquarium is closed. It was the semester break, hence the campus is very quiet.

3pm: Return the car to Hertz at KKIA T1. Rental for 2 days was RM414.60 inclusive of Liability Reduction of RM20/day. Additional chargers of RM80 for returning the car 2 hours late. Penalty charges of RM30 for bringing seafood into the car which left an unbearable stench in the car. I was terribly bad about that. Total Hyundai Starex rental : RM524.60
Our flight took off on time at 6:30pm, and we left the beautiful land under the wind with memorable experience. Lastly, Kundasang is a beautiful place not to be missed if you are travelling to KK!

This was my 3rd time travelling to KK (excluding work trip). The previous visit to KK and Kundasang gave me the confident to organize the trip here. I am always looking forward to revisit the places and share the exotic destination with my family and friends. There will be different experiences travelling with different people. 
Hence, next time when I told you I am going  places again, you know i will be discovering wonderful places to share it with you!
