Good morning Kota Kinabalu!! Our adventures on 2nd day was to drive from Kota Kinabalu --> Tamparuli --> Kundasang. Having a breakfast 1st is important in the morning.... We had our light breakfast at 1 of the Petronas fuel station while driving on the way to Tamparuli. Eager to know the places that we had visited while driving to Kundasang?? Check it out here guys...

The sun was shining brightly & it was really warm when we had reached Tamparuli by noon. After grabbed the entrance ticket, we wait for our turn for a while by sitting at the provided bench. For the local tourist, need MYKad as a proof to get the ticket price of RM10.60. For the international tourist, the price is a bit more expensive & the details regarding the ticket price including the tour packages can be found via this LINK. Photography is not allowed to be taken in the Rumah Terbalik Tamparuli. We had no intention to visit 3D Wonders Museum for this round due to we must arrive at Kundasang before evening.

At Tamparuli also we had crossing the river by using Tamparuli Suspension Bridge from 1 side to the other of the riverbank. Wishing the river would have a crystal clear water which I may see the reflection of the clouds in the river but it was not.... For those who have acrophobia, I'm not recommend to cross the river via this bridge as it's swaying a lot & maintenance required to be done by the local authorities to ensure the safety of the users.

We had stopped at Pekan Nabalu to have our lunch at 1 of the Muslim cafe, Restoran Nur Cafe. Bought some fruits - mangosteen & tarap as well. A good advise for those who have never eaten tarap before this.... Please eat it ASAP & do not keep it in the car as the fruit has weird smell. I can't describe how bad the smell is but as I don't eat durians, tarap has also fall in the same category. Don't be like us - place it at the rear wiper as both of us can't stand anymore with the smell as we had kept it with us along the trip....

Finally, we had reached Kundasang after driving for several hours. On the way to our rented accommodation at Mesilau, we had passed Pekan Kundasang. There are a lot of stalls selling vegetables, fruits, honey & local traditional delicacies such as spinach tempura, savoury fish cracker a.k.a amplang & etc.
I can't wait to reach Mesilau - a remote area which is 6km from Pekan Kundasang!! Any idea where is our next point of interest?? Some hints for you - I was dream of New Zealand with the Friesians cows...
