Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia.  We were not able to add to the blog recently due to very poor internet service on board for the last 36 hours.  We hope you did not give up on us!! We toured Kota Kinabalu on 1/27.  This was our second stop on the island of Borneo following Brunei.  Even though this part of Malaysia is 100's of miles across the South China Sea from the Malay Peninsula it is still relatively clean with good infrastructure.  We saw several buildings, mosques and the University.  There were wide streets with beautiful landscaping and even a great looking bike/walking path along the waterfront.

Beautiful infinity pool

Unusual "suspended" building that was built from the top down
It was a nice over view done by just driving around in our bus.  Our last stop was at a beautiful Shangri La beach front resort.  It was a beautiful spot and seemed to be mostly Asian tourists.  Tom thought the beer was great!
At sea 1/28.  We are on our way to Viet Nam for a week with stops in Saigan, Da Nang, and Hanoi.  We are really looking forward to the visit and to getting over our colds.  The crossing last night was a bit "rocky" but makes for good sleeping.  Tom is now back to a martini in the evening.  Life is good.
