I was surprised to know that I was one of the few who availed of the Express Boarding... one of the few who boarded the plane earlier than others... I did get a spicy Asian Meal.
Arrived in KK in 2hours. Good weather... clear skies... but with a hint of drizzle.
At the lobby of the airport, I was met by Simon of Kinabalu Backpackers Lodge. Then we did go straight to the lodge. Finally I met Hody! Hody is a she!
It was unfortunate that currency exchange shops closed early, but I withdrew Ringgit directly from the ATM via my BPI card. I then went straight to a 7-Eleven store to purchase 2-liters of bottled water.
Airline food was not that heavy, so I looked for an open restaurant.
I went back to the lodge after... paid Simon the balance for my accommodation... after a hot shower, I prepared my pack for tomorrow's climb.
Hit the sack 2300hrs.
KK, here I come!

Sir do you have the budget listing for this climb? and is it possible to do Mesilau Timpohon traverse without having to stay at one of the plush lodges? Thanks
@backPackingSheet: for the Low's Peak Circuit/Via Ferrata, ballpark figure is 30k PhP, circa 2008.
no idea for the Mesilau Timpohon traverse trek, but it is mandatory/regulation to stay overnight in a hut. i think, to circumvent this is to join the Mount Kinabalu Marathon or better yet- get MountainTorq's "Alpine Experience" (the only outfitter authorized to do camping on Kinabalu).
Wonderful points most people wrote in this article. Great items. I think you have made some genuinely interesting elements. Keep the good do the job.
