Drive to Kundasang
We woke up at seven and got ready for the day. We planned to go out for breakfast, and we also needed to do laundry. So we walked across the road to Ariba Maju for breakfast, which was right next to the Spin ’n Clean laundromat. It was a practical start to the morning.
Our Rental Car
The night before, a friend delivered our rental car off camera. For RM100.00 per day (≈ USD23/EUR21), we rented a small Proton Saga FLX to get us to and from Kundasang. It was simple, but perfect for a short mountain trip.
By 8:45am, with our stomachs full and laundry done, we walked back to the homestay to pack. We checked out at 10:00am, loaded our bags into the rental car, and began our drive to Kundasang.
Sadly, we forgot to bring the car mount for the DJI Action 4, so there was no hyper lapse footage of the drive. Still, the journey took about two hours and was scenic and calm.
A Quirky Lunch Stop
We had booked two rooms for two nights at Ayana Holiday Resort, but since check in was still a couple of hours away, we decided to stop for lunch first.
We chose a very unusual place called BW Bus Restaurant. According to their page, it was a Sabahan owned restaurant that turned old buses into a modern dining café. The restaurant sat between the Ranau and Kundasang highways and truly stood out.
We paid an entrance fee of RM5.00 each (≈ USD1/EUR1), which could be used to offset our food bill later.
Lunch in a Bus
After a quick look at the menu, we ordered:
- Crispy Chicken Burger
- Homemade Beef Burger
- Ham and Cheese Toast
- 2 Iced Lemon Teas
- Iced Latte
After subtracting our RM15.00 entrance fee, our first meal in Kundasang came to RM89.00 (≈ USD20/EUR18). It was fun, different, and surprisingly enjoyable.
Onward to the Clouds
With lunch done, we got back into the rental car and continued our drive, this time heading the other way toward our resort.
Stay tuned for our next video as we checked into a resort in the clouds and began our Kundasang adventure!
