It’s that time already and it seems to be flying by. We had our staff party at Gayana Island Resort last night. It was a pretty well behaved affair on the whole, but was a good laugh with late night swims etc in a lovely pool that was fenced off from the sea, and staying [...]
It’s pretty much that time already! The last few days were spent at the final expedition wash up, and a closing ceremony with the Minister if Youth and Sport, and his Permanent Secretary (and others) in attendance. My slideshow of the three months went down a storm, and it had a (if I may say [...]
This morning I watched the sunrise at the top of Mount Kinabalu again. This second time seemed a lot harder than the first – probably because I hadn’t warmed up trekking the Crocker Range for a week like I did the last time. I had sore knees, and my head was spinning a bit. It [...]
Popped out last night and got my hands on a copy of the new Sabah Tourism’s Sabah Magazine last night. On the back page was a Raleigh article written by our resident PR Officer, and 6 of my pictures were accompanying the article on the back and contents pages! Unfortunately my name wasn’t credited but [...]

Manukan Reef was the area I was snorkelling around last week. The island shown above [...]

I ‘popped’ into KK today to get pictures printed for a wee exhibition, and to be used at promotional events in the future. It’s a bit of a hassle not having command of your own transport here (and the travellers mentality is hitting me trying to justify the two pound taxi in and out), so [...]

I finally had a taste of the infamous Durian fruit today. I’ve meant to many times before so the boss took one into the office, and we all had a taste. The smell wasn’t as bad as I expected and the taste of it was……different. Quite a weird texture, but again, not nearly as bad [...]
I’ve removed the previous slideshow and added some more images…still none of them show the jungle, the camps, the kampongs etc, but it’s a start. This is a sample of some of the photographs I’ve taken over the last two months – mostly in the last few weeks.
