Mt Kinabalu - Day 2 (Part 2)

And we continued our track to the 4th km...


Norm doesn't look very excited, does he?



At the 4th km... hunger pangs hit.. *badly*. HUNGRY!!




SALIVATING...



The extra 2kg weight - 2 servings of cheese sandwiches, 1 serving of ham sandwich, 2 hard boiled eggs, 2 pcs of popia, fried chicken, a Fuji apple, a can of sprite, and a bottle of H2O.


Replenishing the salts! Yes... 100plus gets the thumbs up. :)

A few others later joined our 'feast'..





Refueled and replenished, we set foot to continue our journey.




The 5th km offers a different scene altogether. Very pretty; fairy garden-like.




Tiring, yes.. but always with a smile. Entranced by the beauty of the surroundings :)




Finally got to the end of Mesilau Trail!

That is about 6km completed. There is another trail up to this juncture via Timpohon trail. Only 4km long but it isn't a very scenic trail. We were quite exhausted by the time we got here, but it was worth the extra time and effort. Truly a scenic hike so far. The weather was very kind to us. Sabah is known of being a wet place, but we have been lucky this time.



And so we are off to continue the Summit Trail.


..which initially looks like this.

2km to where we will camp for the night.. treacherous and steep.


But this view in sight is a strong motivation to propel us forward.
