Rested and recuperated, we were ready to spot some of those great apes. We had heard extremely mixed reviews regarding the Sepilok Orang-utan Rehabilitation Centre, mostly negative according to Trip Advisor, but like many things, we needed to go and assess for ourselves. Orang-utans are only in Borneo and Sumatra, and are fast declining in numbers. There are apparently only four orang-utan rehabilitation centres in the world, Sepilok being one of them, and it cla...

Malaysian Borneo. Sabah. Kota Kinabalu - Sabah's capital city was our first stop, and our first insight into this jungle clad part of Malaysia. I'm not entirely sure what I was expecting, KK is a capital city after all, well developed - our hotel was in amidst a brand new shopping centre for God's sake!

The rooms pretty shabby, and in need of re-decoration, but...

As we boarded our bus, and waved goodbye to our new favourite city, I think we were both a little sad to leave. However, we were headed for Malysia, and for new adventures, and would be sure to visit Singapore again in the near future anyway.The journey to Melaka, a town between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, took four hours, and before we knew it, we had crashed into our beds at the hostel we had checked into.The following morning, we began to explore the historica...
