KK Day 3

*tweet tweet tweet… tweet tweet tweet… tweet tweet tweet*

*stretch*

Hmmm… It didn’t sound like my alarm… Strange…

Looked at the clock, it’s only 615am. Dreaming?

Then I heard a faint tweeting coming from the living room. Slowly, I tip toed towards the living room. To my surprise, there’re a few birds perched on the railing at the front porch of the hut.

Melodious morning songs… What a nice way to be awaken :)

There are 2 routes to choose from for the ascent to Laban Rata. One can take either the longer but more scenic Mesilau trail or the normal Timpohon trail. XT & I decided to take the Timpohon trail which is shorter and less strenuous.

There's a saying that a picture is worth a thousand words...

*counts*

18 x 1000 = 18 000 words :P
