I’m back..safely!

Water rafting is…FUN!! You should try it. It is not THAT risky after all. I really had a great time and really don’t mind coming again for the second time. The tour guides are extremely helpful, funny and…FUN! :)

The Padas River that I went to, is said to be a much more challenging water rafting activity than the Kiulu River simply because the stream at Kiulu is much more shallow. You bet. What to expect from this adventurous, fun trip? I list down the pros and cons

Pros

1. You get to meet a bunch of fun new strangers, enjoying the life of an adventurous person(even though you are not).

2. You get to exercise.

3. You get to flirt have fun with the tour guide.

4. You get to overcome your fear. (seriously I was scared stiff but now I’m braver)

5. You get to eat the nice BBQ lunch they prepared for you after the water rafting.

6. You can find tranquility watching the scenery.

7. Definitely, you can make new friends (That is, if you are friendly enough, or the other party friendly enough)

Cons

1. The ride to Beaufort is 1 1/2 hours. Then the train ride to Padas River about 1 1/2 hours(but the tour guide said 2 hours). It is a long RIDE~~

2. The train ride is not for the faint heart. Sometimes fast, sometimes slow. sometimes swing, sometimes not swinging..haha!

3. The weather! (It is pretty hot when i go for the water rafting)

4. Need to pay RM130.00 (Normal price is RM185.00)

That is pretty much of it.

Tomorrow..

We going to Kudat, to see sunset at the Tip of Borneo. My friend, being more adventurous, and unwilling to pay RM285, (we both had agreed) going to rent a Waja for RM240 for a day. How to get there, we pretty much blur at this time, following the direction and probably get some map.

Yeah, this time, I am really being a backpacker~
