Sabah: 1st Day

We booked a flight 6 months prior, through AirAsia, the first Malaysian low-cost flight. But last time it was located in KLIA itself, and not in LCCT. Nevertheless, we had to wake up as early as 5.00 a.m. to get to KLIA. And our flight was around 9.00. This would be our first flight with AirAsia. The flight attendants, giving instruction on flight safety, dressed neatly in red and white uniforms.








KLIA in the morning.



Once we arrived in Kota Kinabalu in the afternoon, we were greeted by our uncle who lived there. We hopped on a Storm and rode along the main roads. We visited some shops around the small city formerly known as Jesselton. The buildings were not as packed as in Kuala Lumpur, and no highways were visible. During this time a flyover was under construction. According to my Sabahan friend, it would be the first flyover ever built in the town.


We booked a cheap hotel room just enough for the six of us to fit in. There were no windows, and we even had a hard time putting our bags and stuff in. But we managed to survive through the night.


The next day we were on our way to the mountains.
