Return to Sabah — Kudat Town

Return to Sabah — Poring Hot Spring

In our previous trip to Sabah 3 years ago, we didn’t give ourselves enough time to explore the various towns we visited, as we were more focused on covering our road trip all round Sabah. This time round, we didn’t make the same mistake, but we still wished we had more time to properly explore […]
