We started the road trip on a wonderful morning, bright sunshine, blue skies... but then it started to get real hot and no fun anymore after that :( I drove the first part of the journey up till Sipitang - a small seaside town in Sabah, and hubby took over from there. It was 2pm. I started driving at 7am. Overall it was an enjoyable road trip; passing the little towns, driving along the Crocker range, ferry trips across rivers and oh, not forgetting the hour we got lost at Lamunin in Brunei. Well, we decided to take the road less travelled... and I suppose it is less travelled for a good reason. We ended up driving in circles for a while. Oh well, at least we got some view of the Bruneian countryside... not much of it anyway. Very thankful indeed we had a safe and enjoyable journey. Kota Kinabalu was scorching hot and we spent most of the two days there eating, window shopping and watching movies. And I also caught up with an old college friend there, who was visiting KK for the first time with her husband. Here are some pictures, not many but we snapped some for the heck of it.
Yay! We have reached Limbang! Out of Brunei, into Sarawak again.
Limbang old airport - air strip actually. This is the old airport 'building'
Old Limbang air strip...just alongside the trunk road 
Ferry service across the river after Limbang. RM8 per vehicle for a 15-seconds ride I think... I gotta buy me some shares in this company. It is making a lot of money
What?? RM8 and we have to fight for life jackets?
Optional : if you drive REALLY fast your car might be able to fly across this river
Hmm at least they didn't increase the price for the past 5 years...
Suspension bridge across Sungai Lawas. What a pretty river
Immigration checkpoint at Lawas/Brunei border. A shoplot...
Pretty green scenary along the road
Tune Hotel 1Borneo Kota Kinabalu - "pay only what you need" bed, aircon and room only. Ok at least the sheets, water and toilet paper were free
What? We have to pay for the bedside bulbs too??
Much awaited seafood dinner in KK. This is Luyang Seafood recommended by a friend's father. Our fish, prawns, seafood noodles, vegetables and drinks for two came up to RM59
