Vlog #7: The fun-filled weekend I had exploring the Sabahan town of Semporna, and attending the Regatta Lepa Festival.
We had an entire morning to explore the Sabahan town of Tawau — and we spent it hiking and eating!
My experience at Semporna’s largest annual festival, the Regatta Lepa — a tribute to the boathouses of the ethnic Bajau Laut community.
This mist-shrouded town is blessed with cool and refreshing mountain air, gorgeous scenery and friendly people– the quiet and serene atmosphere here will give you a glimpse into life way back when. However, I made the journey specifically to see the ‘hanging coffins’.
