Day 4.
The storm rested at dawn to a light drizzle that continued to the end of the day, making our visit to the Tip of Borneo a tipsy one against the wind. We peeped at the cool, rustic chalets of the homestay resort and browsed through the corals and shells at some makeshift stalls nearby before making the trip back to KK. The drizzle continued as we drived on and it was decided to be unsuitable for the Matunggong attractions so we took a detour to Kota Marudu instead for the heck of it.
Kota Marudu main town is another small town. Along the way, churches cropped up again but luckily there were still some Malay shops in town. Either we missed it or there's none, we passed no mosque along the road of Kota Marudu.
So now back to KK. If you know the roads well enough, you can bypass Kota Belud town and take a right turn at the 3 - way junction just after the Kg. Taun Gusi school. And if you are interested to view a breathtaking sight of a beautiful fisherman village river along the way, take the route of Pantai Dalit instead of following the direct route to KK as the signboards dictate. Following this route too will bring you to a road lined with stalls selling coconut puding made inside the coconut itself and also roasted lokan, a mollusc served with tantalizing chili dip.
Since the meal of lokan and pudding did not satisfy us, a buddy insisted on stopping at Anjung Selera despite my warning. After a disappointing meal (except for the sayur manis with egg and pucuk timun in belacan, which were so good), we stopped for the prayer at Likas floating mosque.
Another night at Marina Court.
