I arrived in tawau a few days ago and made the 1.5hr journey back up to semporna! It's so good to be back! Checked in at scuba junkie dorm then headed to the bar for a night of singing, dancing and shanagans with some of my old mates from scuba junkie! Early the next morning I was up and ready to get back underwater... First stop bahayan (it's a northern island I haven't yet discovered).

So I've pretty much had the coolest 3 days EVER! Stuff I've only dreamt of doing! On Wednesday morning I was picked up by victor, ubuh and Diana (the Mexican vet) in the wildlife rescue truck to began our 5 hr journey through the beautiful mountain ranges headed for sepilok...
