Hi,

Thank you for being with me on our 6th edition of Mount Kinabalu Borneo.com newsletter.

This month, I would like to share with you some of the photo that I took during my trip to the Tip of Borneo (Tanjung Simpang Mengayau) on the 2nd of November 2006 with my family. It was windy and the sun was not shining too bright. It seems that the haze still affect the place when I went there.

Journey to The Tip of Borneo only takes about 45 minutes from Kudat town. The road was good initially but a bit bumpy for about 30 minutes before we arrive there.

Since my last visit there, (about 1 year ago), a lot of new development has taken place. There is one eating outlet (very small) and a toilet. Both are well maintained.

Along the way before you arrive to the tip, there are few small wooden houses that belongs to the native people that lives there. They sell sea shells by the roadside to earn their living.

Here, I will show you few of the photos that I took using my digital camera, Sony Cybershot S40, taken with auto program and save with 3MP settings. Post production, I just use Irfanview to correct the level of the colours and some touch up on the saturations.

To get there? It’s a bit difficult, but possible. What you can do (for solo or couple) is to go to Sabah Tourism Board building in Jalan Gaya, and ask the reception counter on the operator which provides the service to Tanjung Simpang Mengayau. Taking a taxi by yourself from Kota Kinabalu may cost you a bit more.

If you happen to go to Kudat, make sure you spend some time in The Tip of Borneo, Tanjung Simpang Mengayau. There is no place like it anywhere else.

Anyway, enjoy the photos!

*The last two photos are my wife and kids photos. One of it showing my wife breastfeeding my newly born girl…
