Globetrotting December 2024 # 3 Borneo

The third country of the series and also the third continent .Malaysian Borneo is certainly one of the most exotic places we have visited we were there in the spring of 2013 We stayed for a couple of nights in a small village called Kundasang which is in the foothills of Mount Kinabalu on the edge of the National Park. This is a view from our hotel balcony showing some of the village and its lush vegetation in the background you can just see Mount Kinabalu.

 

Borneo is the third-largest island in the world, with an area of 288,869 sq miles The island is divided by the equator, roughly in half between the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

The island is politically divided among three states. The sovereign state of Brunei in the north makes up 1% of the territory. Approximately 73% of Borneo is Indonesian territory, and in the north, the East Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak make up about 26% of the island.
