Mount Kinabalu Climb

October is a popular month for climbing Mount Kinabalu. I have managed to come across some articles on climbing Mt Kinabalu which may prove useful information.

Have a read, decide for yourself whether you want to have a crack at Kinabalu!

Motor Biking around KK

If you are in Kota Kinabalu as a visitor , moving around can be cumbersome as public transport systems are not organised as you want them to be, nor do they run like a clockwork. Taxis? - these can cost a packet and you can't really take your surroundings at your leisure with a meter ticking away and causing a leakage in you wallet. Shuttle buses from the hotels shunt you from point to point, it's okay if you are prone to regimentation.

But what happens if you want to be free to move around at your own pace and not be restricted by not too reliable a public transport system? Instead of huffing and puffing and just being able to go as far as your legs can carry you, try renting a motorbike. You will get to see, not only Kota Kinabalu but also its outskirts and even far beyond, in fact if you have the time you can go around Sabah on a motorbike.

To do that get in touch with this outfit at http://gogosabah.com/home ask for Joel, he speaks English well and "Joel will fix it". The bikes /scooters are the 125cc categories and well adequate to putter around to where ever you want to be in Sabah. Alternatively you could get in touch with us and we'll put you through to him. If you do get in touch with Joel yourself, kindly let him know that we told you "Joel will fix it"
