Venturers Update # 1

An update from the team after their arrival in Kota Kinabalu



After arriving at the airport we got on a really really long plane ride where some of the tv's didn't work, but the flight attendants were really nice and happy.
anyway,
then we arrived at KL at 10:40ish, malaysian time, ridiculously tired.
we then slept on the moving escalators and somehow managed to find our way to our other flight, which was a small, squishy and uncomfortable plane which took us to Kota Kinabalu.

After arriving at 1:00 in the morning we took a very dangerous taxi ride ( they havent heard of lanes) to our lodge.
its called the summer lodge and its bright yellow,
its heaps of fun and theres an amazing aircon.

Next morning we went for brekkie at a random cafe thing, not 100% sure what it actually was.
had a selection of roti but because we couldnt understand the menu we had no idea what we were eating :D
it was nice though,
then we learnt how to deal with the traffic, dont look for cars. just walk.
apparently you wont get hit..

we went and checked out the supposed markets, which were really just a whole bunch of shoes piled up and the malaysian people trying to sell you stuff.
it was fun though, and the people are really nice.
except for some of them who just stare and laugh at us because were so clueless as to everything.

then we ate lunch, we had nasi and mee goreng, its actually kinda amazing.
then we went to a supermarket, which in malaysia is called the hypermarket and bought really weird lollies to take with us to the beach.
then it rained.
so we didnt go to the beach.

and now were having a party in the main room of the lodge, eating ice cream oreos and peanut butter oreos, and drinking a strange selection of softdrinks.

its been amazing so far, no matter how negative this blog may sound.
missing home heaps,
lol jokes.

love from your kids.
