Tawau and Semporna
Last Friday evening, DH, Aina and me flew to Tawau for another of our Cuti-cuti Malaysia outing. My bro-in-law came along with his wife and their 5-month old Alif. So did both my mum-in-law(MIL) and pa-in-law(PIL).
When we arrived at the Tawau Hotel, it was just about 9pm, but the area was so deserted!! My first impression was, hmm... never mind about my first impression :)
The following morning, after taking our breakfast at a nearby Mamak stall, we visited the Pasar Gantung Tawau. Not satisfied with what was there, we asked around, and the locals told us about the Pasar Gantung (yeah! that's the one that we read in the Internet earlier! Gantung & Tanjung, people can easily mistake the two).
Pasar Gantung reminds me of the stalls in Rantau Panjang. Since I was not looking for anything in particular, I just walked around. Being a lady, despite 'not wanting to purchase anything', I still incurred the a total damage of slightly over RM100!
That day (Saturday), we didn't do much. After visiting Pasar Gantung, we came back to our hotel room, and it started to rain and rain - it lasted until maghrib time. That night we went out to have some sea food behind the Plaza Sabindo.
Early on Sunday morning, we checked out, and we had a Honda Stream wating for us! We were renting it for half a day (7am-7pm).
With the Honda, we managed to go a bit further for our breakfast - we had very nice local 'nasi kuning' (yellow rice).
Breakfast done, we moved on to Semporna!!
me in the rented Honda Stream - nice number too!
to be continued...
