Peter & Michelle a great series of shots. I must agree with you that Sabah is a wonderful place for a trip. I went to Sandakan (little Hong Kong) primarily to attend the Dawn Service on Anzac Day (25th April)at the Sandakan War memorial. At 12noon on getting back to the hotel (Sabah Hotel) the travel agency there arranged for a car to take me to Sukua, 2 hours away, I then had nearly 5 hours cruising the rivers in a motorised canoe. It was off season and besides the boatman/guide I was the only person in the canoe and it was an absolutely tremendous experience. I stayed on the river until it was pitch dark and the guide suggested we head back because he had seen pgymy elephants swimming in the river the day before.
Here are a couple of my shots from the canoe
