Farm Visitor Number 1 Is Back

Visitor number 1 came back for a short visit and this time he came with his son and another friend. Day one, we had a short city tour in Kota Kinabalu in a rented Proton Saga. Place visited are Signal Hill, Atkinson Clock Tower, Jesselton Wharf and etc.




Day 2 was spent at the farm, to see our progress. A year ago, we were planting aimlessly. Now we already have a planting plan and in the process of understanding and developing further experience on selected plants. Had a walking tour across our little farm. Exchanging ideas, discussion and deliberating on plants and methods. Time just flies by.

Day 3, morning, went visiting to our local weekly market. Lots of stuffs sold by the locals where available. Our friend brought a big root of Tongkat Ali for just $25.00 He seems to be sure about the root and it's usage. We continued to Mahua Waterfall. This is hidden inside the Crocker Range. Spent some time having a mini picnic. We then proceed to Poring Hot Spring. A walk across the Rainforest Canopy Walk, followed by a hot dip at the hot pool. It was getting dark and have to leave.




Day 4 we went around to Kinabalu Park, making lots of stops for for fruits shopping. Spent some time at Kundasang, a high land town with lots of farming. Visited the War Memorial. Spend the rest of the day at Kinabalu park itself.
Had a seafood feast at Kudat, as the seafood there is so fresh.

Day 5, we made a visit to the Tip Of Borneo. The wind was particularly strong today. We can't even stand properly. The waves were constantly hitting at the rocks. This area is having lots of development, chalets, shops, restaurants and others.

We made a stop at the Runggus Long House.

Day 6, we went on an eating trip, tasting the local fare. After filling up to the top, we went for a walk at Gaya Street, the weekly Sunday Market. As my friends' flight is close to midnight, I have to excuse myself and make my way back to Keningau. After saying our good byes, made my way to take the 1.00 pm. Kimanis Express bus to Keningau.
