Labuan >> Menumbok: Ferry

8^th August 2013 (Thursday) was my cousin’s wedding so my family and I  planned to go Kota Kinabalu (KK) on 7^th August by car as it is very convenience for us to shop at KK if has transport.

On 7^th August, we wake up at 5 o’clock and departure to town for breakfast. When paid for the breakfast, the boss said to my dad that the total price for our breakfast was RM 200. I was shocked to hear for the amount while my dad know the meaning of the boss and gave him RM 20. I just wonder that the boss was making fun that the breakfast was RM 20 but when told the customer by adding another zero at the back. If I give RM 200 to the boss, how the boss will reaction? Haha…

Long queue for buying ticket

After having breakfast, we went to terminal ferry to buy passenger tickets. Early in the morning, can see that has many people queue up to buy ticket. As 8^th August was Hari Raya Hoilday so many people will go away from Labuan for travel or back to hometown. The passage ticket is RM 2.50 per person with identity card (50% discount for Malaysian).

Ground floor of ferry

About 7.40 a.m, we went into the ferry. This ferry is different with the ferry express as this ferry can carry cars besides people. This ferry can divide into 3 levels which are ground floor (car parking and toilets), first floor (rest room for passengers) and top floor (can enjoy the sea view from ferry). Actually the ferry departure at 8 a.m but this times the ferry was delay and departure at 8.15 a.m.

Rest room for passenger

This ferry had been damaged by fire which you can refer to here so it had been renovation. I can saw the difference before and after fire damaged were the seat. After fire damaged, the seat in ferry was so limited. As the seat was limited so my sisters and I went into car for sit to wait the ferry arrived. I was spending my waiting times in car by sleeping.

Canteen in ferry

In ferry has small canteen that sell food and drinks but the price is quite expensive. If did not want to buy from there, you can also bring your own food. You also can enjoy the movie that was played at there.

Passenger seat

Coming out from passenger rest room, you can see has stair to reach to the top of the ferry, you can enjoy the sea view and take some photos. At there, you can see some people choose to sit at floor to enjoy the wind but beware with the sun too.

Enjoy the sea view

At 10.15 a.m, the ferry safely arrived at Menumbok and started our car journey to Kota Kinabalu after 2 hours drive. 

Sit on floor

On 9^th August 2013, it was raining in Menumbok at the times we take the ferry back so we were spending all the times in car. Again, I was sleeping in car because was too tired.
