Sipadan Part 1

I know it's a week late but I've been really occupied with work since I took a whole week off during my Sipadan trip. So here goes my Sipadan Picture Trip Report :)

My trip started at 11pm March 17th. After some logistics arrangement I took the 1st bus out of KL Sentral to LCCT at around 3.15am.


This is part of the luggage that took us about 1.5 hrs to check in. Check in was a chaos as we had to 1st declare our extra luggage as sports equipment (to enjoy the RM30/15kg additional allowance) then check in the normal luggage, then bring the extra luggage to another check in counter to get in checked in, then to another counter to pay for it. 3 counters just to check in our extra luggage? I wonder why can't we just do everything at the check in counter.

I slept all the way in the plane and also all the way from Tawau airport to Semporna so no pictures there. Anyway, we reached Semporna near noon and checked in at Lee's Resthouse as our boat out to Mabul island is only the next morning.

Bro, how much's a night at Lee's? What facilities are available? Wifi ada?

Malas dah nak bangun pagi and take first flight. I want to take the last flight to TWU and sleep in Semporna.

SD,

i have no idea actually, ikan arranged everything. but i heard that it should be cheap la..maybe RM50 or something. if you're looking for something more comfortable Seafest hotel should be your choice. but Lee's good enough for me

I'm fine..as long as no one knocks on my door to look for women. If they knock and offer me women then it's a different matter.
