Travel 016 : Sandakan, Sabah : 19 Jun 2012 : Kinabantan River

We had another river boat trip in the morning (about 6.30).  Had breakfast and it is time to check out.  We checked out in the late morning, took the one minute boat to cross the river and started in our car drive to Sandakan.  Tonight is our flight back to KL en-route to Singapore.  There is no specific place to visit today in our agenda.  However, we took a detour to visit Batu Tulug by going the opposite direction towards Lahad Datu.  When we reach Batu Tulug,  there is nobody other than us.  Bought tickets and climbed over a hundred steps to reach the first cave.  This cave is full of bats hanging at the ceiling.







From here we drive back all the way to Sandakan but had a good break at the Sepilok oranguton rehab centre (we didn't go inside).  It was about 3pm when we reached Sandakan and went to curry house (for one last time on the trip) to have our Indian (late) lunch.  At about 4.30pm, drove to the airport after filling fuel along the way.  At 6pm, returned the car and started our long wait for the flight.  We waited for 3 hours and took our flight to KL.  Then it was a overnight wait to catch our early morning flight back to Singapore.
