Day 18
Today we set off up to Mount Kinabalu National Park home to Mount Kinabalu, the tallest mountain south of the Himalayas (4095 metres). Tomorrow we would climb this beast that towers over Kota Kinabalu.
We head up into the foothills in a small minivan packed to the rafters and as we reached higher altitude the humidity and the temperature dropped nicely to the point that when we reached the park it was quite chilly (long T-shirt chilly)
We paid some additional money for our insurance, park permit and hiking certificate and checked into our prebooked accomodation which was rather nice set in the lush green forest. We also teamed up with another couple Ivor, from Adelaide and Aimee from New Zealand, to share a guide for the next day's climb.
