Location: Kota Kinabalu
Today we arrived in Kota Kinabalu after spending a few days at Sandakan. We’re sleeping at the Summer Lodge and oh my Lord – is this not the greatest place on earth!?!
As shallow as we are (we’ve never claimed to be anything else) we found everything we’d ever need in this hostel – some come to Borneo for the orang-utans some come for the mountains, some even come for the luscious jungles. We’ve seen all that and they were ok – what we’d come back to this country for is this hostel.
What we loved about Borneo was, inside that god-send of a hostel, there were not one, not two, not even three, but four (yes, four!) computers all linked up to the webernet and all free to use! On top of this was a TV with every cable channel on earth and a free-to-use DVD selection and, wait for it… beer was only £1 for a huge can!
Naturally, we spent our remaining day playing Scrabulous (www.scrabulous.com) against each other, irritating the hell out of all the other guests by channel hopping non-stop for hours at a time (this should be a sport) and tenderly sipping away at golden amber nectar.
It’s a shame really. Kota Kinabalu apparently has some really nice places to see – but we Google-imaged them and were drunkenly content at that.
