Excursion to Tunku
Abdul Rahman
Marine Park
This morning, our program
was to visit the Tunku Abdul
Rahman Marine Park (2
groups) while 2 other groups
were doing the Kota Kinabalu
Heritage Walk.
We left the hotel at 9-ish, for
the Sutera Marina Jetty, where
we took a 15-minute speed
boat ride to Sapi Island, our
first stop. I didn't go swimming
or snorkeling -- couldn't be
bothered to bring a change of
clothes -- so I occupied my
time taking pictures.

After spending about 2 hours
(approx.) on Sapi Island, we
got on to the speedboat again
and headed to Manukan
Island. On this island, there
were more orginanised
activities, and especially
interesting was the Scuba-Doo.
It is sort of like a water scooter
that takes you underwater,
without getting your hair wet....!
(Great for people like my
sister!!)
I basically went round and took
more pics of whatever that
caught my eye, then had lunch
at about 12.00 noon.

After the island tours, we headed for Monsopiad
Cultural Village. Monsopiad was a Kadazandusun
warrior who managed, in his lifetime, to collect 42 skulls.
Until 300 years ago, headhunters roamed the area and
although the Kadazundusuns are not headhunters by
nature, they did it to protect what was theirs -- their
homes, their families, their livestock and their food.
I took some pics of the flora around us... ...joined in the
activities at the Village ...and then headed to the hall
where the cultural show was held.
