Borneo, Malaysia

In 2009 we traveled to Borneo, "The Land Beneth the Wind". We flew from San Francisco to Singapore (with a short layover in Hong Kong) where we spent the night at the In Transit Hotel. In the morning we flew from Singapore to Kota Kinabalu in Sabah. The flight to Singapore ends up being around 17 hours, and the flight to Kota Kinabalu is about 2 1/2 hours. Way too much time spent in an airplane! After an overnight in Kota Kinabalu we flew to Sandakan on the other side of Sabah where we started our adventure with diving at Lankayan Island. After Lankayan we stayed overnight on Selingaan (Turtle) Island, then spent one night at Sepilok, about 1/2 hour outside of Sandakan. Then we went back to the jetty to get on the boat for Sukau on the Kinabatangan River. After two nights there we were off by car to Lahad Datu, where we ate lunch, and then three hours more on the road to the Danum Valley where we stayed for three nights. Then we flew back to Kota Kinabalu for our last night in Sabah after which we flew to Singapore for an overnight before the long flight home.
