Its been a while - Holidays

Well, its been a while and I just havent had the time to post anything so I'm going to have to be a bit more diligent and at least keep a journal elsewhere on my laptop and then upload it. So much has happened in the last month.

Went on holiday with my family to Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. Not just my family, but, my whole family. There were 14 of us, 8 adults and 2 young adults, and 4 children. We had 12 wonderful relaxing days in the 32 celcius heat. We slept, ate, swam, and did shopping. Even took some time to see Orang Utans in the nature reserver connected to the hotel resort (Shangri La - Rasa Ria - Dalit Bay).

I recommend going to this relatively unspoilt country. They are starting to realise there is serious money to be made on eco tourism and there is plenty of it, from white water rafting, rain forest treks, mountain treks on Mt Kinabalu, turtle hatching watch, scuba and snorkeling, sailing...the list goes on.

Its also cheap. At the time the Malaysian Ringgit was 2.6 to the Australian Dollar (or $US1 = RM3.8). As an example a main meal at the resorts most expensive up market restaurant averaged on RM65. The regular restaurant prices were in the range RM25.

The food was great and the resorts facilities were excellent.
