Day 4 - KK (as the local's call Kota Kinabalu)

Another early start, definitely better playing golf early in the day, then having some down time by the pool in the afternoon :-) breakfast then off in our rent a wreck to the Nexus Golf Resort. It is about 7km from Dalit Bay where we played yesterday, so about 45-50min drive.



Yet another very beautiful golf course in excellent condition. The bougainvillea were out so it was all very pretty too. Sean played excellent golf today, putting like a pro, he had 36 points, including a 4 pointer on the last !. I had a had a bad day today, just couldn't get it together. We also got stuck behind 3 idiots who could not play golf let alone follow any etiquette - they would run into bunkers, hit their ball (3 or 4 times) then run out without raking, they didn't repair divots - and also would not let us pay through. As all my golfing friends know, I HATE slow play at the best of times!















Definitely becoming acclimatised to the humidity. Clear blue skies again today so it was very hot. There was a nice breeze too. Despite layers of sunblock I am slightly burnt today, I think I just sweat the cream off as soon as it is applied :-)








Had a nice lunch there afterwards,I had Nasi Goreng which was yummy. Sean had satay which was also great :-) Headed back into town. You have to love how detailed their council workers get with the topiary on the median strips! Decided to stop at the markets to see if there was anything worth buying - there was not! Shopping planned for KL, although I did buy a golf shirt today :-)








Markets




Topiary




Back to hotel, dropped off hire car and headed to the pool for a cool down and an ice cream sundae as a treat. Very relaxing part of the day.




Another beautiful sunset tonight, brilliant colours








Headed over to the Marina for dinner. I had Beef Rendang which was lovely. Sean had fish and chips ...... Eventually, as the brought him the wrong meal originally. Very muggy tonight, still 30 degrees at 8pm, no rain yet tonight!




Tomorrow we are playing the remaining 18 holes here at Sutera Harbour, then heading to KL in the afternoon.
