Merry Christmas from Borneo!

So we returned to Kota Kinabalu by plane and back to the Nexus Spa and Resort.  We arrived early enough to manage a Christmas swim in the South China Sea.  The water was very salty for some reason.  I tried bodysurfing but the waves were flat enough that I didn't get more than a few feet.  There was a nice pool system with lots of families. It felt like the local beach equivalent of the Catskills.

Katherine came in from town to for drinks and a regular Christmas dinner -- steak and red wine.  Definitely not a white Christmas!

About today's pictures. One is the view from the room.  Another is the water monitor lizard that lives on the grounds.  Finally, here's a picture of the girls hosting their Xmas drinks.  That's Julia on the right, my travel buddy for this trip. I met her a couple of years ago on the Namibia trip.
