Saturday October 20: Alarms were set for 4 am for our 4:45 departure. We got in the boats and sped down river, in the dark, praying the boat pilot didn't hit any floating logs. We made it safely and transferred to two vehicles for our 2 hour drive to Sandakan airport. Our short flight back to Kota Kinabalu was at 8:15 and once we arrived we had a quick city tour. This was a visit to the beach (were Malays don't sunbathe like crazy westerners), then on to the State museum for a look at the cultural displays. We proceeded to the hotel about 11:30 and thank goodness our rooms were ready. Showers, laundry, and a rest were first on the list. Didn't see much of anyone all afternoon, I think they were all enjoying the return to civilization and napping (after 3 really early morning starts I don't blame them). We spent the afternoon catching up with emails, battery charging and photo sorting. We are off out for dinner at 6:30, our last night in Malaysia, we fly to Indonesia tomorrow.
