(^72) Kota Kinabalu – Kota Belud – 75km
I picked up the laundry, had a Chinese bun and coffee, and pedalled out of
town. Outside Tuaran was an upside-down house which made a fun stop to look
at this bizarre building. The whole shebang was upside down: tables, chairs,
beds, everything was hanging from the ceiling. The designer remembered the
outside as even the car was hanging from the carport roof.
En route to Kota Belud, the way became extremely mountainous. The weather
was intensely hot and drenched in sweat I moved at a snail's pace up the
mountain.
Seeing a stall selling ice-cold sugarcane juice brightened my day, especially
since I had travelled under the blistering sun for a few hours. Approaching, the
stall owner waved frantically, and I discovered a drink waiting for me at the
counter. An anonymous traveller bought me a drink and the stall owner was told
to flag me down. How awesome is that? I gulped the drink down and fuelled by
the sugar and grinning from ear to ear, was ready to tackle a few more hills.
