I got up and bought noodle for breakfast. I walked to Tanjung Aru Station to take trains for Beaufort.

The train I took departed about 40 minutes behind the schedule. I don't know why the delay happened.
The dalay prolonged as the train moved.

So, I thought I wouldn't have time to return at Beaufort. Then, I asked Japanese passengers which station they would get off at. They said to me "Bongawan is said to have many things to do."
I decided to obey the suggestion ,and actually got off there. Surely, there were many stores and restaurants.
Bongawan Station
But they are not for tourists but for local residents.

I ate fried noodle at a restaurant near the station.
I hanged out around the station, but found nothing to report.
After a while, I boarded a train for Tanjung Aru.

On my way to Kota Kinabalu
At PAPAR, diesel locomotive which pulled couches mulfunctioned. It took a long time to alternate it by another one.
As a result, the train arrived at Tanjung Aru more than 1 hour behind the schedule.
After saying goodbye to the Japanese family, I walked to downtown of Kota Kinabalu.

When I hanged out in the city, I managed to find money exchanger near Centre Point.
But, the problem was that I felt fever in walking coastline of the city.
So, I ate Samgyetang(Korean food) at a restaurant to recover from the disease.
As I expected, I recovered soon.
I went back to the hotel by taxi.
