Mt. KinabaluMy CS host took me and two other couchsurfers to the Crocker Range National Park. Our first stop was at the Rafflesia Information Centre. Luck did not struck me this time as there were no rafflessia flowers in bloom today and the trail was closed to visitors.
Then we proceeded to nearby Mahua Waterfall. The trail leading to the waterfall was short but very pleasant. However, I did not have much time to examine the magnificent plants, as my companions were moving fast. We met a group of students who were picnicking there. They were so nice and offered us a lot of food that we left the place stuffed.
On the way back, we passed the Kundasang veggie and fruit market where we bought some interesting foodstuff. Again, we were in such a hurry that I did not even have time to ask for the names of the unknown fruits I bought.
The highlight of the day was the last stop at the Pekan Nabalu Lookout where we enjoyed a breathtaking view of mighty Mt. Kinabalu, which I am returning to explore next weekend...
