Only 4 more days of holidays. I easily could spend so much more time here. The diving out at Mataking Island was great, we saw heaps of sea-turtles and a frogfish and a tiny tiny sea-horse and a pikachu - don't ask me what the hell it is, it was that small i could barely see it.
Lisa and I did a second day diving out at Sibuan Island. Not quite as good. There were some strong currents running through and a shit load of rubbish - plastic bags etc which was a bit disappointing after Mataking Island which was a pristine tropical island paradise kind of island. The dive guides out at Sibuan were also a bit crap. There was my guide who was a german dude who was nice, but a couple of the other guys were fat lazy backpacker types who thought it was fine and professional to smoke all over the passengers and throw their cigarette butts in the water. Dirty pigs.
Ahh well I guess they fit in in Semporna then, it really is a hovel of a town. The markets stink of rubbish and there are rats running around everywhere. Not really what you would expect as the gateway to one of the worlds top diving spots.
So after Semporna we spent a couple of days in the Gunung Mulu National Park which is in Sarawak. It was great. We only had 3 days so we didn't get to climb the pinnacles which looked like it would have been fantastic. But we did get in a couple of days adventure caving which was awesome.
hmmm, this internet is a bit slow so i'll post this and write a new one for the caves.
