After being in China for 8 weeks we were pretty sure we would want a relaxing week before returning to the UK - and sure enough we were right. We arrived in Borneo and were hit be the heat as we met our friends Alice & Mark and their family at the airport. It was great to see some long-term friends, especially as we were being entertained in Alices home town of Kota Kinabalu.
We had a great week of relaxing around the pool, swimming in the sea, doing a small range of activities. A perfect week to prepare us for the UK again!
We stayed at the ShangriLa hotel and it was a nice relaxed family hotel which was perfect for what we needed. The kids did some Flying Fish Ringoing, we visited the islands off the coast, including a brand new resort which looked great but still needed a few customers. We saw the Orangutans in the jungle, the Proboscis Monkeys and fireflies on a night river cruise, and toured the US navy flagship of the 7th Fleet, the USS Blue Ridge. We were well looked after by our hosts Alice and Mark and the kids had a great time together. The food and drinks were great - it was nice to have drinks watching the sunset and dinner outside in the warm with good friends.
A great way to end our RTW trip - a good swansong.......
Our plane from Malaysia was delayed by 6 hours so we re-routed to catch our plane to Singapore via Kuala Lumpur - an extra flight to add to all the others!!! And then catch our BA plane home to London - really, really looking forward to getting home but wondering what it will really be like when we get there, what and who will have changed and how we will all settle in over the next few months......
