Kota Kinabalu, Borneo 21st September 2008

Just got back from camping on Sapi Island. It was really good.

We went snorkelling which was great although the coral here has been really damaged (mainly by stupid tourists who stand on it!). Saw loads of great fish though including puffer fish and rainbow fish. When all the other tourists had left on the last boat we built a campfire (the gas bottle we bought for our stove was the wrong type) and cooked our dinner and snuggled into our tent.

They have massive monitor lizards here (4-5’) and you could hear then rummaging on the beach. We were also visited by a family of wild pigs who came to see what the tourists had left them to eat.

In the morning we had the whole place to ourselves until about 9.30am so we snorkelled all alone which was lovely.

We were planning to stay for another night but it rained on the second morning and we discovered that our tent was about as waterproof as toilet paper so came back early.

Sorry, as we weren't sure about security on the island we didn't take our camera so don't have any pictures. We both looked really beautiful the whole time though (as you do when you've been camping).
