After a false start back in 2004 when our planned trip to Kota Kinabalu was aborted due to other priorities, we made sure that this time around, we would make it up there..all 13,432 ft of it, if we can.
Well, not quite that high, this time around. At the main base camp area for the assault on Mt Kinabalu, was all we could manage..or more precisely, was permitted to do, without a 6-mth prior application for permission to climb.
Still, it was a nice feeling being up there. Seeing real mountains of that height..it was quite a sight.
Give me Mt Everest next...and why not? Well, at least the Himalayan mountains, be it in Kathmandu or Tibet, I don't really mind. Bring it on..
