2025-01-22 (Thursday) Off to Tun Saharan Marine Park





























Up early at 5.45 for our morning boat ride - it was never going to be as good as yesterday, but it was beautiful all the same. We actually saw baby crocs too, which was so different!

Quick brekkie, then set off at 8ish with Didi to Semporna - a 4 hour drive, and after a little snooze, chatted to Didi almost all the way, which was cool - lovely man! Stopped and had some Portuguese Tarts at the petrol station - cool!


We arrived at Big Fin Resort, where our accommodation sat above the water - amazing! The hosts were lovely, albeit a bit crazy some of them! It was sunny and calm the we arrived, and we relaxed, I did submitted my pitch to It’s Me Again, and we went for a walk - not much around at all, but a couple of shops.


Dinner was BBQ chicken wings, rice and veggie, and was very nice. We played a full round of Five Crowns. Paish just took the lead with 3 rounds to go and I managed to pull it back to take the lead. Me and Paish cleared the deck on the second last round, and I managed to only get 5 on the last round to take the game - it was so fun.

2025-01-21 (Wednesday) Activity Day! Boat, Walk, Fitness Run













































Up at 5.30 for our morning boat ride - very cool though. The mist rising off the river, so peaceful. Proboscis Monkeys, 2 crocs, loads of birds - hornbills of course! Roxy’s favourite! Our guide likes birds.

Brekkie was great! Nasi Lamak, Waffles and toast! Yay!


Went for a daytime hike up to a lookout where we stayed a long time looking out and listening - I almost fell asleep! We went back for some down time.
