Malaysia Borneo

Delays with both my Air Asia flights to Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu over an hour delay for each flight so it was rather boring spending so much time at the airport.

At the moment I'm in the East coast town of Sandakan got here by the shuttle bus from the Probosis Monkey santuary,the day before I had been to the Orangutuan Sanctuary at Sepilok.
I stayed at a dormitory style place,just 5 minutes away from the Orang Utan Santuary,in English money,I guess about 8-10 pounds but in general the accomodation in Sabah is cheap;it just depends on what you want.
Actually there was a nice big swimming pool,great to cool off at the end of the day!
Today I saw loads of the 'big nose' monkeys,why do they have such big noses ?;apparently it's a sign of their male proweness and the abilty to attract the females.As well as the monkeys also saw an egret,some hornbills,a stork,squirells,crocodiles with loads of mosquitoes molesting them so quite an animal packed day. Unfortunately on Tuesday my the LCD screen of my digital camera went weird as if I'd dropped it so all I could see was a big black hole against a grey murky background so it meant I had to take photos 'blind' and hope the photos would turn out

OK.
