Hello y'all. I love to travel around, photograph beautiful scenery and eat local delicacies. But, what comes after uploading those pictures and videos on Instagram, FB and other social media? The pictures just got saved in the hard disc, period.

So now, i would start digging up old pictures that worth to be shared and would like to start with journey to the land below the wind, which is Sabah back in 2016.

Loving the colour of seawater

Kota Kinabalu has clear blue water and attractive diving spots such as Pulau Gaya, located inside Tunku Abdul Rahman (TAR) park. The Downbelow dive company is located on the Gaya Island which is around 10 minutes boat ride from Sutera Harbour Jetty.

Next, these pictures were taken at Kundasang, which is a 2 hours ride from KK city (to the east). The Desa Cattle Farm is known as "Little New Zealand" in Sabah and the entrance fee is RM 5 for adult. The farm is 199 hectares and produces 900 000 litres of milk per year (quoted from Sabah tourim website). There are several flavors of the milk from DESA products such as original, chocolate and coffee.

The coffee-flavored milk

Not forgetting to visit the Kundasang War Memorial which is the first memorial to commemorate Australian and British Prisoners who bravely died during the infamous death marches to Ranau during World War II (quoted from Sabah tourim website). The entrance fee is RM2 per pax.

The history was framed and can be found at the information board

If you're an animal lover and like to cuddle fluffy pets, please head over to Ranau Rabbit Village where you can feed and play with it. The entrance fee is RM2 per pax and please mind your steps while walking inside the rabbits' playground as they are all over the place (hiding from people or searching for foods).
