The view of Mount Kinabalu from Kinabalu Pine Resort was magnificent. We woke up bright and early to catch a glimpse of the majestic mountain at sun rise. Alyssa was sporting enough to take a walk and enjoy the morning.
This is 6 am!
Beautiful skies
Simple breakfast
Breakfast was served at 630 am. There was nothing particularly good about the breakfast. It wasn't bad either. Good enough to fill an empty stomach. We had to check out early to ensure we arrive in time for our flight back.

The journey back wasn't much of a hassle. There wasn't any slow moving traffic. With some extra time, we stopped by a few places before reaching the airport. First stop was Jambatan Tamparuli. I think the only reason it is famous is because of the song 'Jambatan Tamparuli' (I don't even understand the song). We didn't bother to stop as it is only a 'titi gantung' across a bridge.

....for cars
Next, we stumbled upon The Upside Down House of Borneo. The only one of its kind in South East Asia. For RM 10 (MyKad holders), you get a guided tour of THE house. It's just one house by the way...and a car parked upside down at the garage.There is one big DOWNside, you can't take pictures inside the house. I am not sure why they have this rule, maybe so that no one can copy their ingenious design concept and apply it at home! In less than 45 minutes, we were off.

That pretty much wraps up our Jalan Sabah Bah. We enjoyed the trip. I wish to come here again in the future as there is so much more to see. Maybe next time we''ll be more adventurous and hike Mount Kinabalu or dive in Sipadan. Word of advice, if you have bigger budget fly on Malaysia Airlines or Malindo Air. Sometimes, their flights can be cheaper with better service and baggage allowance. I am not saying Air Asia is bad but it is a BUDGET airline and the service is 'BUDGET' i.e. smiles on a budget.
