Kiau and an Introduction to Sabah

Another state, another group …

Today was another first day of the tour … the second part had started, with a new group composition and a new tour leader. Already todays were now back to the road on our way to the first homestay in Kiau, the home of our mountain guides for the Kinabalu climb.

After arrival in Kiau and move into the guesthouse of the local catholic church (no kidding here), we enjoyed the first cultural show of the trip – dancing, singing and music. First we enjoyed the show… then we had to join in. Kopingi – the head of the village and our to-be guide for the Mt. Kinabalu climb – led through the show. After the show we walked over to the house of the sister of Kopingi – for dinner
