Day 239 (Sat 3 Mar) - Kota Kinabalu / Sapi Island
Had an early breakfast and got together our beach stuff ready to spend the day at a nearby island. Walked to the ferry terminal and took a speed boat to the island of Sapi just across the bay.
By 10.30am we were on Sapi, a beautiful, paradise island. We'd rented snorkeling equipment from the ferry terminal so as soon as we'd dumped our bags we headed into the crystal blue waters. We saw some amazing fish. Unfortunately Jo's mask fell apart only after half an hour so for the remainder of the day we had to share one snorkel.
When we weren't snorkeling we were lazing on the beach under the trees - this is what life is about!
At lunchtime Sarb popped to get a beer from the shop. He came racing back, beer in hand, and told Jo that he had just seen an amazing sight. Jo joined him and went to see what all the fuss was about. It was a massive monitor lizard just by the beach amongst the trees. It was at leat 5ft long and it's whipping tongue looked pretty scary so we didn't get too close.
Sarb spent most of the afternoon snorkellng and trying out the underwater camera ( [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [5] ).
At 4pm we headed back to the mainland. We were starving after all the fresh air so stopped off for a Burger King on the way back to our lodgings.
Chilled for the evening.
