Hej allesammen.Nu var det vidst ogsaa paa tide at jeg opdaterer min blog :) Vi ankom i fredags kl. 20 til hotellet i Kota Kinabalu - paa det tidspunkt havde jeg vaeret 30 timer undervejs at der er 6 timers tidsforskel fra Borneo til Danmark. Selvom vi foerst kom om aftenen, var der stadig 35 grader udenfor og det var meget svaert for allesammen med varmen.Efter at have sovet og spist hvidt toastbroed til morgenmad, blev vi hentet af Down Below, som er det firma, der har arrangeret hele vores tur paa Borneo. VI blev koert ud til havnen og sejlede derefter med speedbaad ud til Gaya Island, hvor vi begyndte paa vores dykkercertifikat den samme dag. Der var ca. 250 siders teori at laese og vi skulle lave 5 dyk paa lavt vand og 4 dyk paa dybt vand i loebet af fem dage. Det var meget udfordrende og samtidig fik man naesten ikke sovet om natten, fordi vi skulle sove i haengekoejer. Men efter de 5 dage, kunne 8 af os kalde os for Padi Open Water Divers og to kunne kalde sig for Padi Scuba Divers.Indtil videre har det eneste mad vi har faaet, vaeret nudler, ris og kylling - lavet paa mange forskellige maader. Saa igaar, da vi kom tilbage til fastlandet, tog Alexander, Christine og jeg paa fikerestaurant og fik hummer og rejer, som man selv kunne vaalge fra et bassin. Det var en meget spaendende oplevelse!Idag har vi planlagt at tage ud at se den store moske her i Kota Kinabalu og evt. tage ud til stranden :) Haaber I alle har det godt og glaeder mig til at se jer :)

Hello everyone :)

I think it's time to update my blog now. We arrived friday at 8 pm at the hotel in Kota Kinabalu - at that time I've been travelling for 30 hours plus the 6 extra hours in time difference, so it felt like mucher longer! Even though we arrived in the evening, it was still about 35 degrees celcius outside and it was very difficult for all of us with the heat. After a good nights sleep and breakfast, we got picked up by Down Below, which is the travelling company, that are arranging our trip around Borneo. We were driven out to the harbour to sail by boat to Gaya Islands, where we started our diving certificat the same day. There was about 250 pages of theory and we had to do 5 confined dives and 4 open water dives in five days. It was very challenging and at the same time, we almost didn't get any sleep because we were sleeping on hangmats. But after the 5 days, 8 from the group (me included) could call ourselves Padi Open Water Divers and 2 from the group could call themselves Scuba Divers :)

So far has the only food we've gotten, been noodles, rice and chicken - in 100 different ways. So when we got back to the mainland yesterday we went out on a seafood restaurant and got lobster and prawns, which you could pick from a water tank, where they were still alive. THat was a very exiting experience! Today we are going sightseeing in Kota Kinabalu. Hope you're all well :) and see you in about 2 months
