I just love the weekends especially in Tawau

, its absolute adventure!! There's SOOO many places to go and see, Semporna; a stop over port before heading to Mabul and Sipadan Island is a hub of seafoods, where as Tawau has all the adventures of outdoors you can think off.
Went to Balung Eco Resort, an hour drives from Tawau via bumpy bumpy road that only 4WD owners can really appreciate their cars.

. Its deep in the jungle situated at a river, of which i have no idea wot the name is. Its surrounded by Dragon Fruit, Mengkudu, Nira, Coffee and Cocao orchards and bits of Pineapple. So each trek you take would lead you to some eatable plantation. yeah you could even try the raw coffee beans off the tree itself. sweet, hardly tasted like the coffee we know. It needs to be dried and roasted before we get that familiar bitter smell.

..
Though the place is terrific for picnics, family outings and trekking of all sorts, the place has a rather dissapointing accomodations plus its expensive!! A good day fun is best when you come here, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and just chill out.
