They reckon that nearly 20% of Borneo is still "undiscovered". In 2000, on one of their most popular tourist destination, Mount Kinabalu, they found 20 new species of plants. With that in mind, we booked into the Shangri La Rasa Ria resort - a 400 bedroom, Euro style, self-contained resort in the north of Sabah, Borneo.
Quite a come-down from our 2weeks at Sibu living in a beach hut. Here, large King size beds, air-con, 6 restaurants (2 need shirt and slacks!), 5 swimming pools and a 60acre nature reserve.
To be honest, its' not our cup of tea (of which they have at least a dozen varieties). But for the boys' they have the pool and all the other bits that come with this sort of place.
1st day spent at the pool and waving a little yellow flag to attract the attention of the staff to bring us more drinks as we can't be arsed to get up!
Only other news is Marie has an interview on the week we get back to Denmark. I on the other hand, have a telephone interview in Borneo. Global village! British person in Borneo having a telephone interview with a Danish company! It's a crazy postmodern world we live in!
