Sunset over Kota Kinabalu.
Running away to a destination that I have never been to before can be as nerve-racking as it can be exciting. The main concern is accessibility. Throwing caution to the wind, Wuan and I decided to go to Kota Kinabalu not knowing if it was convenient for a wheelchair user like me. Surely there are people in a condition similar to mine there. Moreover, Wuan’s sister Rosalynn and her family, and our good friend Dee are staying there.
The Pacific Sutera, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.
The moment we made landfall over Sabah, I already liked the place. There were wide expanses of green stretching as far as our eyes could see. The land was relatively undeveloped as compared to Penang or Kuala Lumpur. There were no tall buildings. It was indeed a pleasant change of landscape. I figured that this city the other side of the South China Sea would be more laid back without all the hustle and bustle.

Rosalynn picked us up from the airport and drove us to The Pacific Sutera. Nico was waiting for us at the hotel when we arrived. Our stay there was a wedding gift from both of them. Thank you to you two. The twin bedded room was cosy. After freshening up, Rosalynn took us on a tour of the hotel grounds. The sun was setting then. It was an overwhelming sight especially when we were so near to the sea watching the ochre sky together with the sound of waves lapping rhythmically at the shore. We planned to catch the sunset again tomorrow. Nico and Rosalynn later treated us to dinner at the Silk Garden – a Chinese restaurant at the hotel serving Sichuan fare.
