Our guardian angels: Monica (left) and Irene |
We bid farewell to Sandakan, left for Tawau by bus on 3/6/2013.
Our 2 guardian angels Irene and Monica, one waited for the ticket booth of express bus to open, one picked us up from the hotel, made sure we boarded the bus at 8:30 am safely for our next destination.
The bus ride was comfortable (quite a new bus) but took almost 6 hours to reach Sandakan.
The supposedly "express bus" made many stops to pick up passengers and goods along the way!
At one stop, the bus picked up almost 3 tons of "goods" - belongings of a family moving out to Tawau.
We checked into Shirvirton Hotel at the center of the city.
The last time we were in Tawau was more than 5 years ago. I did not have Facebook and blog account then. You can see some pictures from my old website.

3/6 早上,我们告别了山打根,往下一个目的地---斗湖前进。
我们的两个护守天使 - Irene 与Monica, 一人在车站等售票处开门售票,一人用车载我们到车站,以保证我们能够安全的登上八点半的快车,到斗湖去。
整个巴士行程相当舒适(巴士车还相当的新),但仍然需要大约六个小时才抵达目的地。
这趟所谓“快车",途中多次停车让乘客及货物上车。
其中一个停留点,我们见到大约三顿的物品上车,这是一家人的细软要搬回斗湖去。
我们在下午大约三点左右,进住市区内的斯威登酒店。
上一次我们到访斗湖,应该是超过五年了。当时还没有Facebook及部落格,但可以从我们旧网页看看旧照片。
