Geee...Modified & overwritten my 2nd-3rd day blog! Here again:

2nd nite & 3rd day:

1) We checkout from Dragon Inn & managed to get a family room backpacker Inn for RM90/day.. Although having basic facilities but the room is spacious wth attached bathroom & hi-pressured hot shower. Breakfast still the same DIY toasted bread & coffee...& Free wifi too.  thumbup.gif

2) Booked another snorkeling trip wth the same Dragon inn staff (He just an agent too the boatman) for RM280 to Mabul & kapalai...water surrounding Semporna full of Bajau & Suluk waterworld houses...They are poor, spoken in languarge more like tagalog rather than Malay, mostly from Phillipine & they throw rubbish everywhere & resulted in floating rubbish everywhere even in Sibuan & Mabul!! haizzzz  mad.gif  sad.gif

5) mabul's Corals in between Borneo Diver resort jetty & opposite the oil rig - Not as nice as Sibuan but more fishes here. First part of the beach full of rubbish & also sea grass..have to swim far near to the edge of ocean dropoff point to enjoy...
