There are huge shopping centres throughout the city, often empty during the day.
Did someone say shoes?
With 14 pairs in Sue's cupboard and 7 in mine we certainly helped the Malaysian shoe industry! I couldn't believe how cheap and how good the quality was. It was interesting that all the shopping centres in KK had so many shoe shops!

We left at 1 pm from Mount Kinabalu Park for Kundasang War Memorial. It was a lovely 45 minute drive. We then arrived at a small town called Kundasang renowned for their wonderful fruit and vegetable markets and surrounded by a massive construction of a shopping centre. We drove through the construction area and turned left down a dirt hill. Yes, they are the instructions and I am glad we didn't drive on our own!!! The tiny little memorial is dedicated to Australians, New Zealanders, British and Borneo people killed in the death march of World War 2. The cost was 10 rm adult and 5 rm child. We walked up a beautiful landscaped pathway to the entrance.
We left at 1:50pm from Kundasang Memorial to Poring Hot Springs. Arrived at 2:30. There was an entry fee for the canopy walk- 5 RM for adults 2.50RM for kids and 5RM camera fee as well. We walked past the locals all accommodating the little square tiled baths which were filled with hot springs water. There were mainly mums with their children. To be honest they were not very inviting and we had absolutely no interest in hopping in one, so we continued on to the canopy walk. The Canopy walk was a 100 m steep climb to the top through thick rain forest. Now this is rain forest!! We climbed a ladder to the first tree. This tree was absolutely enormous. We walked across on a suspended hanging bridge with a 100m drop. It was very breath-taking and scary. The third bridge was the scariest as you could see a ravine far below. It was absolutely spectacular.
Our Mount Kinabalu trip started at 7:30am. We decided to hire a driver with amini van as the cost for 2 cars would have been more. It cost us 500RM total for the day, so we were thrilled. We were told that we needed to reach the lookout by 9:30am as cloud would start covering the mountain. So off we went. We arrived at the lookout at Naburan by 9:00am and took some beautiful photos. As you can see the clouds were rolling in.
