We spent last weekend in Kota Kinabalu, a city in Sabah, Borneo. We stayed with our good friends Chris and Suzanne in this amazing villa right on the ocean.
The sunsets were absolutely incredible the entire weekend. We were so lucky with the weather, we were warned it tends to rain daily but it was clear skies the whole time. Here are a bunch of pictures in our backyard at the villa with several different sunsets.
GORGEOUS!
We also took a trip to go visit the orangutans. They are an endangered species in Sabah, and we were able to see the orangutans at a rehabilitation center where some were being treated before going back into the wild. All the proceeds went to the rehabilitation and protection of these animals. The ones we saw were so cute, very active and seemed happy! Did you know they have 96% of the same genes as us, crazy!
Our first night together we decided to BBQ at the villa. We had a huge spread and the food was delicious!!
We also got to play a game of tennis. It was really too hot to play but we all seemed to manage somehow. The surroundings of the court were beautiful. Here is our team photo! Haha
We had one nice dinner out at the Shangri-La Hotel. Here are some couple shots before we left.
One afternoon after some debating between the boys over what brand of beer was best, we decided to do a blind taste test of 3 types of beers. The game was to try to identify the different brands, and pick our favorite. Funny enough, everyone got it wrong!!! And the few people (aka Chris) who were insistent about a certain brand being superior, in fact ended up choosing that said brand as his least favorite during the blind tasting. So funny.
The rest of the weekend was spent poolside or bar-side during happy hour.
Overall it was another very fun weekend full of many laughs and great memories. We are very lucky to travel to so many great places, and enjoy these times with amazing company.
