We had another few hours to wait at the airport &#8211; it was painfully boring. The plane ride was uneventful (always a good thing) and we were once again thankful for the Milo and muffins.  <\/p>\n<p>We are back at Kinabalu backpackers for two nights. If they had a membership programme we would be at &#8216;gold&#8217; level already.
