Day two began waking up from a lovely restful sleep at my loft queen bed at Jono’s place…. I was determined to catch a sunrise and sunrise in Sabah can be pretty early… and I managed to walk all the way from Jono’s Place to the Seafest Jetty where I got my sunrise photo….

Our day began at the public jetty of Sampoerna where dozens of boats waited to bring their designated passengers island hopping and/or to the floating resorts /island resorts… We boarded to boat at about 9.30am bound for Lato Lato Mun Resort which was our home for the night…
