Pom Pom re-visited and sunsets Tip of Borneo

Can't get tired of sunsets :)

Yesterday we revisited Pom Pom to see what was left of our old camp. All in all it looked pretty good and some of the structures were still intact.
On Monday they will start re-building the kitchen, then the toilets and shower, after that it's time to move tents, stuff and people over there.
I'm in charge of getting all needed for the kitchen, showers and toilets, while the proffessor is in charge of all mechanic, electric and technical stuff.
Will probably do the shopping for the kitchen within two weeks.
Pom Pom now has both internet and mobile which will make it so much easier to keep our blog, my blog and contact with the family ongoing.
I will be based on Pom Pom when the camp is up and running.
Steve went snorkelling around Pom Pom and the fishlife is incredible. He saw over 30 bumphead parrotfish, really big ones, morays, barracuda, and loads of other big and small fish.
Semporna however is still a shitty dump. It's even poorer now than before. Luckily I only have to go there a few times a month after we've moved to Pom Pom :)
Semporna is such a contrast to Kota Kinabalu, you can't even believe you're in the same country.

Tonight I had a nice steak at Little Italy in KK, it was deliciuos. I'm staying at Jesselton Hotel, it's very good value for money.
Now it's bedtime, tired after the 10 hour nightbus ride from Semporna.
