After being awake for 38hrs solid I was feeling rather sorry for myself yesterday, especially after arriving in Semporna (Borneo) at 3pm in the afternoon, only to find out that the whole place was deserted during the day either because it is too hot, or all the cool people are out diving?!
I’d spent the night in KL and didn’t bother getting a room ‘cos I would have had to check out at 3am to catch my flight to Borneo, so in true Sity style I stayed out all night... Hung out in a bar in KL with a cool Brit that I met called Lee... (I know... British and cool... what are the odds?!), thus feeling exhausted and maybe even a little bit home sick the following day?!
Anyway Semporna felt like the end of the world… I mean literally, if the world was flat, Semporna would be at the edge, I tried to get a permit to dive on Sipadan Island, only to find out that the reservation I had made had not gone trough (the icing on my cake)!!!
I checked into a really nice hostel (Dragon Inn) which is built on stilts in the ocean, where I met a gal called Kelly who hooked me up with a permit thus allowing me to make 3 dives in the ‘Worlds Best Dive Site’ today!!! Hooray!
Anyway I saw sharks and turtles… tens of them (among other things), so I’m a happy girl again!
Should be heading to Sipolok tomorrow to the Orangutan Sanctuary, if I ever manage to get out of this place alive, it’s a ghost town during the day, and a cattle market at night… Guess you’ll find out in the next blogg!
Yours a very dubious Sity
