Kota Kinabalu is a town in the middle of rain forest in the Borneo-island, Malaysia.
From our hotel room window there was a view of slum and minaret.
The city center was a pleasant place.
It was a monsoon season so usually afternoons was rainy. Otherwise was sunny.
We got a bicycle trip from a local extreme- travel agency. It included:
a guide, three bicycles (one for the guide), a van and a driver.
The best solution was to drive the van in top of mountains and then
fast down with the bikes. We did pass seven double trailer trucks with bicycles!
There were free animals like dogs, ***, etc. which made the downhill cycling very dangerous.
Sabah is malaria-area so you should use mosquito repellent.
You could take a boat to the nearby islands.
Pineapples are the best in Malaysia...
The best pineapples are yellow. They sell only green and brown in Finland.
