Kota Kinabalu 3 Nights 5 Days Trip Day 3

​

Today’s tour starts in the afternoon, so we had a leisurely breakfast~

There’s a bowl photo from the first day that I didn’t take ㅋ

There’s a rooftop pool, so I went for a morning swim.

There was also a gym on the same floor, but it didn’t have much equipment.

The operating hours are from 8 AM to 8 PM,

and they close from 3 to 4 PM.

You can rent towels at the café on the first floor, so refer to the photo!

Also, there was a hotel under construction in front, so once it’s completed,

it seems like it will be hard to have an ocean view from Grandis?

Had a solid swim.

It was nice because there was no one there at that early hour!

The sun was super hot, so make sure to wear shoes as the ground gets really hot..

For lunch, we decided to eat simply at KFC in the shopping center.

We ordered a chicken set and a single Hamburger with cola,

but it turned out the Hamburger was 1+1, which surprised me.

Looking back, it said [free] in the detailed description ㅋㅋ

The drink with the chicken set was lemon iced tea, but it was super bland.

The soda was also bland.

It seems like all the drinks at any store have that powdery taste.

I packed the remaining Hamburger to take with me.

Then, I went shopping at Beringgis, a famous general store? I originally planned to just look around, but the bags were so cute and cheap..

I ended up buying both after debating between two….

Before the tour, I had already booked a massage, so while waiting, I took a selfie with my mom~

I thought I looked just like my dad, but

in the photo, I seem to resemble my mom a lot too ㅎ

We took a van to the Sea Spa & Massage shop,

which was close to the Number One Mart we visited yesterday.

This place was much better than the massage shop we went to yesterday ㅎ

It was a 90-minute full-body aroma massage, and it was just the right amount of refreshing pain??

The owner here is Korean (I think),

so I think it would be good to make a reservation personally.

(I went again on the last day, and I highly recommend the foot massage)

After the massage, we came to Beringgis Restaurant for the sunset and firefly tour.

There’s a small pier here, and they say we will take a boat to move.

While waiting for a bit, I saw they were selling ice cream, so I got one each.

I think it cost about 12 ringgit for two!

And this place is totally a cat paradise….

There were so many, but only this friend came out clearly ㅜ

They didn’t run away and were very affectionate, such angelic cats 😭

Just a short boat ride away is the sunset tour location!

The river connects to the sea, and it took less than 5 minutes to arrive.

However, there was a lot of trash on the beach..

I feel sorry for humanity……..

Round clumps of sand

And here’s a selfie ㅋ

I took a lot of jump shots, but the beach wasn’t that pretty.

There was a lot of trash.. and it was low tide..

And the sunset was so beautiful..

Which angle is prettier???? 🤔

I even tried eating it ㅋ

So frustrating with the mini quality ㅜ I will definitely buy a pro next time..

The sky with the rising moon was also pink and beautiful.

After completing the sunset tour, we returned to the restaurant.

They serve a Korean-style buffet for dinner,

and their kimchi is absolutely delicious ㅋㅋㅋ

Both the cucumber and Kkakdugi were so tasty..

Before going on the firefly tour, I played with a cheese cat ㅎ

(Firefly photo source: Modu Tour)

Due to the nature of the firefly tour, the more light there is, the less visible they are,

so they advised us to refrain from using our phones, and I couldn’t take any firefly photos.

Also, it’s not like we see them up close as in the photos,

and there weren’t many fireflies, so it wasn’t very bright.

Only one or two came close to the boat, but they didn’t stay long ㅜ

Still, I saw a tree that looked like a Christmas tree, and it sparkled quite beautifully.

The guide said it was a day with not many fireflies, which was disappointing ㅠ

And we also briefly saw a crocodile living by the river.. ㄷㄷ

After returning to the hotel, I had a late-night snack,,

I enjoyed my beer well.

And the guide told us that

there’s an arrow on the ceiling in every hotel room, and when I looked,

it was really small and stuck in the corner.

Since it’s an Islamic country, it indicates the direction for prayer..
