A Day in Borneo (Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia)

Borneo is the world's third largest island. There are 3 countries there - Brunei, Malaysia and Indonesia. After our day in Brunei, our cruise stopped at Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia for a day. I had arranged a 3 hour tour with Tours by Locals. Dudy took us around to see things I had been curious about. This was my first visit to Malaysia. I found that, not surprisingly, every country in SE Asia is a little different.
