Next day, following awesome continental breakfast, we headed out for car rental. We closed a deal with Hawk Rental Company (http://www.hawkrentacar.com/) for 160 RM for remaining duration.
Immediate after renting the car, we headed for Mount Kinabalu Park, approx 3 hours drive. We stopped in between for snacks, shopping and view to Mt Kinabalu.
The park is a the base for the people who wish to climb Mt Kinabalu. I wish I had enough time for it. We drive in park and came back and headed to Kundasang War Memorial (http://www.kinabaluweb.com/kundasangmemorial.html).
A must-visit in Kundasang is the Kundasang War Memorial. Established in 1962, this was one of the first memorials to commemorate the brave Australian and British Prisoners of War who died in Sandakan and during the infamous death marches to Ranau during World War II. The memorial also remembers the people of North Borneo who risked their lives to help the POWs.
The Memorial is made up of four beautiful gardens - the Australian Garden, the English Garden, the Borneo Garden and the Contemplation Garden and Pool - to represent the different nationalities
After memorial, we headed back to Kota Kinabalu, and it started raining heavily again during our drive back, which slowed our speed quiet a bit. We reached KK city around 8:00 PM. We had dinner and called it a day, with a feeling that 1 day is not sufficient in KK.
