The Long Road To The Garden Of Eden

To get to Taman Pertanian Sabah (Sabah Agriculture Park and Gardens) in Tenom, you’ll need to drive down the long and straight Keningau stretch. Unlike getting to Tambunan, where you’ll feel refreshing cold mountain air and see luscious hills and serene valleys, the Keningau stretch is flat.

And long.

And straight.

Flat. Long. Straight.

See for yourself.

My Chief Executive Chauffeur that is my Husband couldn’t keep his eyes open on such a flat, long, straight, hot and humid drive. So we made a stop by the Keningau township and I found this adorable little package.

She just begs to be the object of my camera’s affection. She’s a Native and I could be wrong, but I’m guessing she’s Murut. Isn’t she just adorable?!

Ok. Now that we’ve had cold drinks and some Nescafe, time to move along people. It’s a long drive to smell Jasmine in the air.

Cross the Pegalan River.

Somewhere along the way this connects with the famous Padas. But I don’t know where. Hey, I’m doing this simultaneously with doing the laundry!

At this point, I will spare you the details of the long, but this time, winding road. At least what monotony we felt on the way here quickly disappeared as we neared the Station.

First there’s lots and lots of cultivation.
