Lovely few days r&r in April after a fantastic Sabah roadtrip
A flight takes off from the Kota Kinabalu airport as seen from Tanjung Aru beach
We didn’t get the orange sunset we were hoping for due to the cloud but we did see some beautiful pinks and blues in the sky once the sun had set at the Shangri-la Sunset bar #BSVBlue
