Labuan Trip (13/12 - 14/12/2008)

Labuan, Pearl of Borneo where business and leisure meet. It is one of Asia's best kept secret. The island's rich history is reflected with its unique customs, monuments and memorial parks. In addition, Labuan is well equipped with resort and five star hotels. Labuan also provides many interesting places for visitors. Let's explore those places with me....

My friends and I (4 of us) traveled from Kota Kinabalu to Menumbok Port to board ferry to Labuan. Its took around 2 hours plus to reach Menumbok Port. Upon reaching Menumbok port, my friend went to buy ferry ticket and car ferry transport ticket, unfortunately we are in "waiting list" cause we didn't make any reservation first. Erm....wait aroung 1 hour plus, so boring there. So, I started to.......
