沙巴之旅 - 第三天 / Journey to Sabah - Day 3

這一天和昨日一樣凌晨五點四十五分就起床了﹐根本就睡不著。收拾好衣服後﹐在庭院走走。七點四十五分我們開車到同心素食館用早餐﹐過後來到了加亞街(Gaya Street) 。這條街有賣很多東西﹐人潮擁擠﹐但只在星期天擺攤。走了一陣子後﹐我們來到了其中一個賣紀念品的攤子。在這裡買了紀念品後﹐九點十五分就趕路上位於沙巴北部的古達(Kudat)。

Day 3 same as yesterday woke up at 5:45am, packed up my bag & rest for a while. We went to One Vision Vegetarian Restaurant at 7:45am for breakfast & proceed to Gaya Street. There are a lot of stalls at the street & selling a lot of things & the street is full with people and also foreigners, but from what Miss XX told me the street is just open on every Sunday. We just walked around & bought souvenirs from one of the souvenir stall. Then we started our journey at 9:15am to the north of Sabah, Kudat.

我們從亞庇驅車大約用了三個小時的車程(大約一百九十公里)﹐一路上我們經過了沙巴大學(University Malaysia Sabah) ﹑小鄉村﹑哥打毛律(Kota Belud) ﹑還有一些小地方我忘了記起來。一路上有很多牛羊在馬路上越過﹐車子必需停下讓步﹐因為它們也有交”路稅” 。哈哈! 在它們眼中根本就” 目中無人” 。在途中﹐我們還停下車子買花生﹐據說這裡的花生很出名。三個小時的車程好辛苦﹐腰酸背痛﹐好不容易才看到” 歡迎光臨古達” 的字眼。

The journey almost took 3 hours from Kota Kinabalu (around 190km). On the way to Kudat, we past through UMS (University Malaysia Sabah), small villages, Kota Belud & few places that I could not remember. Cows & goats can see anywhere on the road, the most important thing is car must slow down the speed & stop for them to cross over the road cause they also “pay for road tax”, haha. After drive for such a long distance, we stop at halfway for a rest & bought some peanuts. Heard people said that Kudat is famous with peanuts & I just bought few packs. 3 hours of journey is totally tired, backache & butt almost cramp. Finally we saw the “Welcome to Kudat” signboard & we reached at Miss XX Uncle’s house at 12:30pm.

中午十二點三十分終於抵達XX小姐伯父的家﹐面帶笑容的他歡迎我們的到來。放下行李後﹐休息一會兒﹐他帶我們到惜緣素食館用午餐。過後我們到古達一帶走走。

Miss XX’s uncle welcomes us with smiling face & he prepared a room for me. We rest for a while & Miss XX’s uncle treated us for the lunch at Xi Yuan Vegetarian Restaurant. After lunch, Miss XX’s uncle took us to walk around at Kudat.

首先我們來到了時鐘塔﹐然後經過了古達分行的沙巴圖書館。之後我們去了海邊走走﹐經過了古達回教堂再轉進了古達體育館﹐然後來到了古達高爾夫球高級酒店。在兜兜轉轉後﹐來到了古達飛機場。眼前出現了一架小型飛機﹐超喜歡這架飛機﹐在機前與它拍照留念。

First we went to Clock Tower, then past through Sabah Library at Kudat branch. After that we went to Esplanade seaside, snapped few photos here & past through a mosque. Then we turned into the Kudat Stadium & also the Kudat Golf & Marina Resort. The following place we went to is Kudat Airport. When walked into the Air Port, I saw a mini aeroplane in front of me & I like it a lot. After get permission from the trainer, we snapped photo with the aeroplane.

在沙巴怎樣都離不開大海﹐我們又來到了邦邦海灘(Bak-Bak Beach) 。據說在這裡曾經發生沉船事件﹐一艘日本船沉沒在海灘附近﹐沉船年份與船名不曉得﹐但還可以清澈地看見船的殘骸浮在海面。在這裡拍照後﹐我們回到了XX小姐伯父的家休息一會。XX小姐的伯父問我來這是否要看日落﹐我說是。他說將帶我到一個地方看日落﹐那地方在沙巴是唯一的一個地方能看見日出與日落的地方﹐意思是說站在同一地方早上可以看見日出傍晚可以看見日落的地方。那地方座落在古達最北部 (婆羅洲最北部) ﹐名字叫”燈火樓” (The Tip Of Borneo, (Tanjung Simpang Mengayau)) ﹐近年來政府還大力推廣這地方為觀光區﹐就連香港TVB無線電視台也拉大隊來這裡拍攝外景[詳細資料請按這裡]

At Sabah you will never escape from the seaside cause you can see it anywhere & again we went to Bak-Bak Beach after that. Heard from people saying that there is a Japanese ship sank near the Bak-Bak Beach seaside, the name & the ship sank year unknown but we still managed to see part of the wreck floating on the sea. Snapped few photos here & we back to home for a rest. Miss XX’s uncle asked me came to Kudat is it want to watch sunset & I answered yes. He told that we will going to a place that can watch sunset & the place is the only place at Sabah that manage to watch sunrise & sunset at the same location. Meaning when standing at the same place you can watch sunrise in the morning & watch sunset in the evening. The place is located at the most Northern of Kudat or Sabah, the name of the place is The Tip Of Borneo (Tanjung Simpang Mengayau). These few years government had announced that The Tip Of Borneo as a scenic place & encourage people to visit this place, even the Hong Kong TVB TV Station also came over here for filming.

四點四十五分我們開始了燈火樓的旅程﹐一路上可以看見很多椰樹。進入燈火樓的路段很難走因為是碎石路﹐車子抖得很厲害﹐所以一路上我們得到了”免費按摩” ﹐哈哈! 大約用了四十分鐘才到達燈火樓﹐當我打開車門在燈火樓踏下我人生的第一步時﹐我第一次看見了我人生還未看過的美景﹐超讚! 這裡風似很強﹐我望著大海﹐頭腦是空白的﹐只聽到風聲在我耳旁響起。我根本不敢相信我能從西馬飛到東馬再到達婆羅洲最北部﹐但這是事實﹐哈哈。

We started the journey to The Tip Of Borneo at 4:45pm; along the way you can see a lot of coconut tree at both of the roadsides. The only thing I don’t like is the road; all the way we got a “free massage” cause the road is gravel. We almost took 45 minutes to reach there. When I open the car door & put my first step at Tip Of Borneo, this is the first time I saw the most beautiful scenery in my life. The place really impressed me with the nice sea view; the wind here is super strong. When I faced to the sea, my mind is blank and the only thing I can hear is wind blow sound past through my ears. I never believe I can flight over to Kota Kinabalu from West Malaysia and from Kota Kinabalu travel straight to the Northern of Borneo, but this is fact! Haha!

最終我們到達了燈火樓 /

站在燈火樓聽著海浪聲﹐心情完全放松﹐只感覺到開心與快樂。在這裡我同時望到了蘇魯海和南中國海因為燈火樓就是兩海的相交點。我在這拍了好多照﹐但部份的照片不清﹐有點失望。最遺憾的是這一天的天氣不好﹐我無法看到日落。我們只逗留到六點半﹐在離開燈火樓之前我望著大海﹐對著燈火樓說我一定會再回來這裡。如果您是沙巴人而又未到過這裡﹐我勸您還是早日來這兒看看。

Standing at The Tip Of Borneo listened to the wave sound is relaxing for me; the only thing I can feel is happy & happy. Meanwhile, I managed to see the Sulu Sea & the South China Sea at the same time cause The Tip Of Borneo is the meet point for both of the sea. I had snapped a lot of photos but feel a bit sad cause by part of the photos really blur, but the most regret thing for me is I can’t watch sunset cause by bad weather. We stayed until 6:30pm, but before we leave I promise to myself that I will be back to The Tip Of Borneo very soon. If you are Sabahan & never step at here before, I hope you can come to The Tip Of Borneo soon & you will never regret for such a nice place.

回程時﹐我們在迷你商店買食物準備今晚的晚餐。晚上八點鐘抵達XX小姐伯父的家後﹐他們開始準備晚餐﹐八點四十五分開始用餐。這頓晚餐是他們為我而準備的﹐真的不知要說些甚麼﹐只能對他們說聲謝謝。這一晚特別累﹐所以十點半就回房休息了。

After back to town, we bought some foods at mini shop for our dinner & back to home at 8pm. They started to prepared cook the foods & we had our dinner at 8:45pm. I really don’t know what should I said for the dinner cause they prepared it special for me, the only thing that I should say is Thanks a lot to them for the care. Today feel really tired & met up with the bed at 10:30pm.
