Today was my second day in Taipei – and turned out to become a museum day. I was first heading out for the National Palace Museum and the attached Zhishan Gardens.
Afterward I crossed the street for the Museum of Formosan aborigines, had a quick lunch – to then head south for the Museum of World Religions. From here I decided to close my day with a visit to the Confucius Temple in the Yuanshan area and the nearby Bao’an Temple.
Dinner again was in a night market … today the famous Shilin Night Market … and I really start to ask myself, why I never brought a camera here …

I finally left Kota Kinabalu and Borneo in the late morning on a flight over to Kuala Lumpur.
When I had booked my flight home, I did include a 10 hours layover in KL – to give me the opportunity to get into town and have a look at the Petronas Towers – Kuala Lumpur’s biggest and best known attraction.
I first took the train from the airport to the central station, here I changed to the monorail and made my way to the KL Tower (a communication tower with observation platform) to get a view of town and the Petronas Towers. Afterward I took the subway over to the shopping center in the towers … also had a look around there.
My last complete day on Borneo … which I spent going diving in Tunku Abdul Raman Marine Park.
Three dives gave me a nice view of the underwater wonderworld … unfortunately without photos. In the evening I went for grilled seafood again and enjoyed another fabulous sunset.

In the afternoon we arrived at the finishing point of the trip (at least for my trip).
We were scheduled to leave Sepilok in the late morning; enough time for a visit to the rainforest discovery center – and actually for me the last time getting close to the Borneo rainforest on this trip.
