This one is for my friend

I am having a good week. Monday night went to see my niece - she is so cute. Tuesday night went out with a group of girls. It has been too long since we last went out together. It was wonderful to catch up with them and just hang out! My favourite.

I have been meaning to blog about this. Climbed up Mt Kinabalu recently. Here's a record of my trip. I hope I got the time correct - wasnt wearing a watch ( I was on holiday). I want to put this down cos I want to remember how it was many months from now.

Day 1

To the airport to catch flight to KK. Flight was 2 ½ hours long.
Arrived and was picked up by van. Journey to Lodge at foothills was 2 hours long.
Stopped by handicraft market. Arrived by 5 pm. Ate dinner at restaurant.


Day 2

At the gate by 9 am. The hike to Laban Rata took 7 hours. Reached by 4 pm.
Ate dinner and was in bed by 6 pm. Took two panadol as I was not feeling well.
Could not sleep until 10.00 pm.

Day 3

Woke up by 1.30 am. Off by 3 am. Took two panadol again.
Trekked up to the Summit.
After 3 hours, after passing the half way point at Sayat sayat my nephew was too tired and too cold to walk on. My sister, the guide and my nephew turned back. They managed to South Peak to get their certificate.

My brother in law and I carried on.

Reached summit at 7.15 am. (after 4 hours).

Reached Laban Rata by 11.30 (about 4 hours).

Ate lunch and we trekked down by 1.30 – it took us 7 ½ hours to come down. We reached at 9 pm! Heavy rain all the way down to the foothill!

More than 15 hours of walking from 3 am to 9 pm!
