ITINERARY | Kundasang & Kota Kinabalu for 7 days!

Assalamualaikum and hye guys!
For those yang dok bertanya budget dan itinerary my  last week trip
boleh refer di bawah. 

Btw, trip kali ni kami bertujuh (7) ye
semuanya gegadis
Kira aku dengan 2 cousins dan juga kawan cousins aku si Wayda tu

Mula-mula ingat nak pakai pak supir ke kundasang
nanti kat KK baru sewa kereta
Sebab makcik aku baru balik sana dok kata jalan ke sana bahaya la semua
Tapi bila tolak-campur-tolak rasa tak berbaloi pula
sebab mahal la pula
Actually tak la mahal sangat pun 
tapi tu la kata travel budget kan hahahaha
Tapi bila dah lalu sendiri tu 
rasa tak la bahaya sangat pun jalan ke kundasang tu
macam jalan nak ke kelantan yang lalu dari Grik tu je pun
Tapi better jangan ke sana waktu malam lah sebab
selekoh kat sana agak tajam
Lepas tu jalan raya kat KK ni senang je
Tapi banyak nau roundabout :/

Trip kali ni ramai 
So meriah sangat
dah macam rombongan 1 bas je =_=
padahal 7 orang je pun

Semua kitorang tong-tong bayar dan buat poll money
So tak la terasa sangat duit keluar
Haaa ni lagi satu nak pesan
Terus terang aku cakap makanan kat Kundasang ni mahal sikit
Lepas tu tak sedap sangat huhu (maaf ye rakyat Kundasang)
Yelah mungkin sebab orang semenanjung ni kuat masin/pedas/manis hahaha
Tu yang tak boleh terima sangat tekak dengan air tangan derang
Btw sampai sekarang aku dok konpius 
kenapa nasi ayam dengan sirap je dah RM9 huhuh

Memandangkan kitorang gegadis ni kuat makan
Kitorang masak je kat Kundasang
sebab barang basah macam sayur-ikan-seafood ni
murah giler-giler-giler 
serious tak tipu, 
Kitorang shopping barang dapur macam orang kaya shopping beg LV :p
p.s: Guesthouse kitorang ada dapur uols. 
Best giler dinner/breakfast berdepan dengan gunung kinabalu *Flip Hair*

Amacam lawa tak guesthouse kitorang?

Best kan, bangun tido je permandangan cemni depan mata ko.

Waktu nak balik dari Kundasang tu
baru singgah makan kat Restaurant Panataran (Highly Recommended!) 
Serious baru dapat rasa nikmat makan itu apa kat restaurant ni

Kronologi;
Ticket Flight beli waktu promo Air Asia bulan November 2016, (17/Nov/16), for RM 202.50 (include insurance & luggage 30kg/5pax)

p.s: Lagi sebulan nak fly baru aku adds-on insurance dan luggage 30kg tu. Tu yang tak terasa sangat. Yang price Rm202.50 tu dah campur semua adds-on tu, kalau tak RM159 je untuk ticket flight (return)

Btw cost aku kat sana (ni preference aku je, terpulanglah kat korang macam mana) cuma RM1300 je untuk 7 hari all in / ground.

Mungkin mahal sebab kitorang buat banyak aktiviti mahal hahahaha. Tapi tak menyesal pun sebab memang dalam bucketlist hiks.

p.s: sorry aku tak reti nak buat budget murah-murah macam yang selalu dok viral tu. HAHAHAHA

Tanjung Aru

- Time kitorang pergi ABC Gunung Kinabalu tutup.

Notes: I will not recommend the other gerai kat dalam food court tu. My cousin order coconut shake biasa tapi dapat yang ice-cream bila pulang balik derang tambah chocolate syrup. TF. Then order nasi goreng paprik tapi dapat nasi goring pe ntah. Sudah lah order benda lain dapat lain, rude, lepas tu paksa-paksa suruh order makanan kat gerai mereka. Tapi view beach memang cantik. Spoil je sebab kedai makan kat situ. 

Pulang kereta sewa tapi nak dekat pukul 7 baru owner dating pickup. Dapat duit deposit dan duit tayar balik.

Total Expenses

Day 1: 243.90

Day 4: 234.75

Day 5: 56.40

Day 6: 204.85

Day 7: 98.50

Total: RM1290.00

p.s: total budget ni TIDAK termasuk tiket flight dan tiket bas Ipoh to KLIA2. Tapi rasanya okay budget 1.2K untuk 7D6N kat KK dan Kundasang. Rasanya kalau tak main paragliding atau zipline atau shopping kat Pasar Filipina budget boleh kurang lagi tu. Tapi bagi aku berbaloi sebab kitorang tak rushing sangat sebab masa kami panjang. Cuma yang tak best tu waktu nak balik tu aku tetiba tak sihat padahal waktu pagi tu okay je. Agaknya jatuh sakit sebab tak mau tinggalkan KK kot. KAHKAH

p.s: Sorry la aku tak upload gambar banyak, nak tengok gambar KK atau Kundasang buka je instagram aku @itsmesyazana. Bukan apa lembab betul upload gambar kat blog ni. huh. BTW di saat aku menaip-delete-menaip ni aku tengah packing barang untuk travel lagi. hiks. Doakan aku selamat pergi dan balik ye. :)

Till Then,
-xoxo-
