Reflections... boy it was some view when we arrived at the reservoir. Despite the time of year, the sun shone on our last trip before the big event. It was a beautiful time to chill, kick back and reflect on our lives before becoming a family with kids and responsibilities!!! Arghhh!

Chilled out in Powys, Wales for a week before the big event - idyllic setting and the most beautiful weather for a February in the UK.

FAX - "Flights Are Cancelled"

We materialise from the jungle, and check in at the less than inspiring Lahad Datu airport.

Only to find that, not for the first time, our flight is cancelled (note the hi tech means by which they inform their valuable customers of this unfortunate circumstance...). We've got three flights with two international connections to make, at KK & Singapore, so our patience is tested but...

...is rewarded when our Fokker 50 flight back across Borneo offers a stunning view of Mount Kinabalu, shrouded in mist; it was rare indeed to see the summit from the foothills around the park and this felt like quite a privilege as we said goodbye to this spectacular place.
