It's
been 3-days. Well! I was away from home. Up to the highlands. No internet nor
WiFi connections. Away from my hectic workloads. Remember D'Villa Rina Ria Lodge? I stayed there during my 2D1N Trip to Kinabalu National Park. A family
outings of course. In fact, a bunch of lodges is just here and there. To name a
few, Puncak Borneo Resort, Bayu Lodge, J Residence, and Mountain Resthouse. And
there is a new one, Tahubang Lodge, right at the opposite side of the road, in
front of the Kinabalu National Park entrance. One could get the room rates from
the reception counter at Kinabalu Park HQ! I hunted for information on mountain
climbing. Guess what? There's a special rate for Local Sabahan! Wow! But fully
booked until July 2013! The only available is on 25 December 2012. What? It's
Christmas! I went in and out to the Reception Counter, Transportation
Service, Visitor's Centre and the Souvenirs shop. I get my family certificates for
visiting the park at the cost of RM5 each from the Visitor's Centre. Plus, a
stainless steel bell-shaped bottle opener at RM14.90 as a souvenir. I am fully
satisfied even though we have to pay the entrance fee. It is RM3 for Malaysians
adult, and RM1 for Malaysians aged 18 years and below. Until next time...
