Kundasang - Ranau Trip Part II

Ni dia part yang kedua... this timewe are going to Kundasang War Memorial (Memorial Perang Kundasang). as far as i looked, each time my visits here lot of renovatioan has been done. such as got media room (air conditioned) and public toilet. my last visit whiches last year dont have this thing yet... good2...

















and this time got this memorial plaque already.... yup.. and my name also got (no 367 and 368) haha...


makin lama makin cantik nih tempat, dulu suram jer mcm kawasan perkuburan hehehe... sib bek xder hantu or apa2 (pssstt.... palis2..)

the flags (Malaysia, Sabah, New Zealand, Britain, Australia)

after that we all decided to stop nearby Kundasang Town to buy some fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and manymore... the KWM also located at Kundasang Town.

after that, all of us take our lunch at Ranau Town, and rest for a while before continue our journey to Poring Hot Spring.

hey CORNTOZ...!!

sebenarnya sy amik pic ni nak mengaburi mata tauke yg kat dalam tuh (xnampak) sbb lain jer muka dia tgk aku nak amik pic poster stacy tuh.. nampak x? wakaakka... so biarlah Sonia jadik model sekejap.. hahaha...


finally we are here at Poring Hot Spring.. our group divided into two group. Group A pg mandi air panas, Group B pg canopy walk. so i pilih B la cos lama dah xnaik canopy ni (last sekali time budak2..)

yup out destination is Canopy Walkway, 835 meters more... aduuiiinah... hahhaa..

this is sungai Mamut, you are prohibited to drink, bath or wash at this river cos some people say its still contained high chemical from the Mamut tine mined. hahaha apa aku cakap nih? beterabur gilaks....

Kolam Air panas (hot Spring), this is open space and its style more into Japanese bathub right..?

Leave them alone, group B continue our journey to canopy walkway... few minutes later kami pun sampai di visitors counter information. paling menyedihkan, dorang cakap "all of u need to wait here before go up (canopy) cos right now, the tourists up there is estimated around 150 peoples...!!" by that time behind us still got long Q. the Ricky (the person who in charge our visit asked them) how long we need to wait...? she answered "Mmmmm... about 1 1/2 hours..."

adddooooii matilah time tuh dh jam 3 lbh klu x silap.. so kiotang menyimpang kejap pg Kipungit Waterfall... kot2 la otw balik nanti dah berkurangan org kan...? (sob...sob...sob..)

ni lah air terjun Kipungit, apa yang paling menarik adalah terdapat fish massage, bkn la ikan yg besar punya, and i think this is not trained punya ikan.. kelaparan kot.. haha..

ni dia, i think this fish massage still not discovered yet by the person who incharge this place.. klu tidak mmg kena mintak extra charge sudah ni... ni free jak... as you can see the little2 cute fish are bitting (actually not bitting lah... more into kissing... wakakaka...) for those who are planning to go Poring, dont miss you chance to try this.. sementara masih free bh urang bilang kan..? hahhaa...

then setelah lbh kurang 30 - 45 minit massage, kaki pun dah syiok balik... apa tidak hiking bh kami nih.. kunun la... hahaa... kami pun balik la... sebelum tu pg tya balik sna counter canopy tu kot2 la boleh sudah kan... sekali tya... dorang bilang masih ada 200 org lagi bulum turun dari sana... (mesti korang binggung kan? mcm mana tu kanopy leh menampung 200 org...? mmg tidak bleh pun... cuma diatas tu sebelum pg canopy got station so tourist yg lebih2 tu kenalah tunggu di station tuh... tunggu yg lain...)

for those yg tidak tau apa tuh canopy walkway, dan kenapa bh famous sangat tu sampai berjuta2 org mau try... (deeiii telebih lagik...) jom kita tgk apa tu barang...

Canopy walkways are bridges between and in the canopy of a forest; mostly linked up with platforms inside or around the trees. They were originally intended as access to the upper regions of ancient forests for scientist who conduct canopy research. After they turned out to provide a limited one-dimensional access to the trees, they were abandoned for canopy cranes. Today they serve as ecotourism attractions, such as the canopy boardwalk in Dhlinza Forest, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

ni dia visitor counter yg sia cakap tu... berbaris bh kami ni.... adedeh....

ni lah salah satu station yg akan kitaong lalui klu dpt pg tuh.... (sygnya xdpt cos ramai org ni pun amik pic dari blog c saifulrizan thanks to him...!!)

ni dia rupa canopy tuh... bayangkan mau tunggu berapa lama nih... hahaha....

Canopy walkway kat poring nih ada yg mencecah sehingga 40 meter dari paras bumi.. tinggi tuh...!! klu ko tengok bawah gerenti la terbeliak... hahaha... mengerikan... tp next time klu pegi sini harus try canopy nih...

time nih tgh tunggu group A tuh lum lagi abis berendam c air panas.. haha.. tetiba plak serangga tu hinggap kat jari c Ricky.. so snap la...

last but not least sebelum balik kiotang belilah souvenir sikit2... and rasalah juga air kelapa segar... fuhh... mantap...

next destination...? BALIK....!!! hahaha

ok.. pasni ni entry seterusnya sy akan post la citer pasal SHCA CAMP '09 (SHCA tu maksudnya School Of Hospitality and Culinary Arts) yg dibuat kat Mahua Waterfall, Tambunan. yg dibuat hari khamis lepas... korang tunnnngggggguuuuuuuu.... hehee..
