After launching the website!

Last week was certainly an interesting one as we launched the AST: Sabah website. Thanks to many of you for sending in such positive comments and helpful suggestions. Someone said that they had found a missing fullstop and capital letter but we probably weren't interested in things like that. Not at all! I'm still trying to find them. If you know where they are, please let me know at: jude@astsabah.com.

One comment / concern that came up was that there are no costings for the tours on the website. You can, of course, get a quote by sending me a note, asking for them and, believe me, our rates are competitive. But I know how you feel: what's the point of even considering taking a tour when you have no idea how much it is going to cost? We're talking about what to do about this - so stay posted!

These orchid photos were taken at the Sabah Agriculture Park in Tenom. It's a wonderful place and has (among lots and lots of other things) two orchid gardens: one for the hybrid orchids that we know so well - lots of large blooms on a stem, incredible colours - and the other for native orchids. These are very different and can be so tiny and delicate that you can hardly see them. It's much more difficult to photograph orchids than I thought it would be, though! Any tips gratefully received.
If you have any comments you would like to have posted, please send them to me: jude@astsabah.com.

And if you have any questions about Sabah, just ask me. Same address!
