First night in Kota Kinabalu, Malaysian Borneo!

He gave me his phone number ...

From Perth to Kota Kinabalu: Lock-up those brakes

Feb 04, 2005 - Feb 14, 2005
Relaxed again yesterday after the whirlwind of the 5 Island. The usual suspects applied… golf, pool, and a stint downtown. The two new things entered here were ‘Fly Fish’ and a blowpipe. As part of a cultural thing, they had a blowpipe and target setup at the hotel and I figured I’d give it a go… see if I could land a monkey with a poison dart if need be. I even surprised myself with some respectable results. None better than dart#1. A bullseye from 20 paces… *phew* …I guess ...
