A DAY TRIP TO TENOM

Yesterday, we decided to visit my home town, Tenom. It took me 2 hours and 15 minutes to get there through the Kota kinabalu -Kimanis - Keningau-Tenom highway.

Driving towards the Crocker Range from Kimanis.

The highway leading to the Crocker Range starting from here.

It was challenging to drive up the steep and winding road.

Foggy for most of the way as we made our way up. A brief stop at 30 kms point. Descending towards Keningau, then to Tenom.

We arrived Tenom just before lunch.

.

Tenom has a Tamu (Open market) on every Sunday. It is the venue for the locals to meet and trade. Live chickens for sell. The locals with their products

My main objective visiting my home town was to find my favourite "kampung" durians and I was not disappointed. They were not only cheaper than in Kota Kinabalu but of better quality.

We had a feast before buying more for home.

We spent about 3 hours in Tenom and returned via the same highway through the Crocker Range.

A view of the steep and winding road ahead. It was still foggy in the afternoon.

These were some of the fine Kampung Durians we bought.

We another round of the best when we arrived home.

We were tired but it was a good day visiting Tenom and enjoying the best kampung durians. We will do it again before the durian season is over.
