Sandakan Vacation Guide

Sandakan is easily accessible from Kota Kinabalu or Kuala Lumpur and is a pretty quiet place on it's own.

Do your bit for this cousin of ours and visit the centre :)

Here it is, the day I've been waiting for on this trip. I wasn't too excited about having to get up at like 5:30am in preparation for the flight from KK to Sandakan, but it had to happen. It's another of those up-and-down jobs and hey presto.. Sandakan. We're immediately whisked away for the bu…
