Sunsets and Beaches

The beach at Rasa Ria, at sunset
After my last visit to Sabah, I knew that it was one place I wanted to revisit.  We had gone to the Kinabatangan, to get a peek at animals of Borneo in their natural habitat, and spent a day or so in Kota Kinabalu.  But we had not seen the beaches which Sabah was famous for.

That was why we went back  It had been a busy few months at work and so, absolutely nothing was planned except a few leisurely days at the Shangri-la Rasa Ria.  I am glad to say that I achieved my objectives of wetting my new swimsuit, acquiring a tan, and getting more photos of young orang-utans.  There is a little nature sanctuary here where these young ones are cared for  before being sent to Sepilok when they grow older, from where they go back to the wild.

So no more talk, here are just some photos to remember this lazy lovely holiday.

Last but not least, my favourite video of the orang utans.

More photos will be put up on Flickr, in due course.

Starting the Day Right...
