After spending three days lounging around the resort we took a boat trip out top explore some of the other islands in the archipelago. First stop a rainforest covered island complete with lake.
The forest is inhabited by some over friendly monkeys and some large monitor lizards. One of which was so large we thought it was a crocodile. With a constant supply of tourists and their lunches, the monkeys have become quite aggressive, the very sound of a plastic bag is enough to turn them into very bad monkeys. So much so they had to put up the following sign.
Next on the tour we visited some sea eagles, much less aggressive than the monkeys. It was very impressive to watch them fishing.
Before heading back to the resort we stopped off on a white sand fringed island, again inhabited by monkeys, that's right bad monkeys. They would wait for people to go into the sea before trying to make off with their possessions.
Catching an evening flight we arrived in Kuala Lumpur at about 10PM, our flight to Kota Kinabalu was tomorrow at 4AM, hardly worth getting a hotel for a few hours so we decided to stay at the airport. After trying to sleep on some of the seats we decided to visit the only gourmet restaurant still open, Burger King. Aside from the airport staff we must have been the only people there.
Highlights: Those naughty monkeys
