Day 4 : Sunday Market, Pulau Manukan and Sapi |
Sunday, 12 August 2007 |
Jalan Gaya is the next street parallel to Jalan Pantai where our hotel locates. Every Sunday morning, the length of Gaya Street is closed off to traffic to make way for the Fair. People can shop for anything under the over-sized umbrellas, like batik sarongs, fruits and flowers, arts and craft, footwear, antiques and souvenirs, cakes, even pets and herbs!. The market starts about 6.30am till noon. We also went there to try out our bargaining skill. haha...we bought famous Kudat peanuts (RM8.5 per pack). In the afternoon, we went to a nearby boat jetty, took a speadboat to Pulau Manukan and Sapi for a half day tour. The islands of Manukan and Sapi have the best beaches in Borneo. Crystal clear waters and a wealth of marine life. We didn't go for snorking nor diving, we had done a lot snorking in Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian, Phi-Phi island before. We were just strolling along the beach and enjoy the tranquil seaside. |
