May 18, 2022: Sabah & Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (Author: J) Our final day in Borneo was the only one without an early wakeup time. Much to P’s disappointment, we did not request a final river safari, knowing that we were in for a late night. Instead, we slept until a reasonable hour – the sunContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report -Day 12”

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report: Day 11
May 17, 2022: Kinabatangan River, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) As I mentioned – due to attraction closures — our day 11 itinerary was fairly similar to our day 10 itinerary.

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 8
May 14, 2022: Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysian Borneo (Author: J) The Shangri La’s location makes it a great base from which to explore the surrounding area, including Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park.

Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 3
Singapore – May 9, 2022 (Author: J) After a great first evening in Singapore, I slept peacefully until about 3 a.m. and then in fits and starts until around 5 a.m. The beds at the Fullerton are quite comfy, so the culprit was jetlag. By 5:30, P and D were also awake, so we decidedContinue reading “Singapore and Malaysia Trip Report – Day 3”
