Labuan Island (Places to visit in Labuan, Part 2)

Well hello there people!

Recently, my internet went bonkers on me so I owe you an apology for not posting the second part of this post sooner. If you haven't check out our first part of this post, here's the link to Labuan Island (Places to visit Part 1).

Also, if you're a party goer, yes I know that Labuan is some sort of a "mini Manila" but I will not be including any night life activities in Labuan into any of my posts. The reason is simple. I've tendered my resignation as a party animal years ago. Besides, I've got kids who view my blog so yea :)

Labuan is filled with historical heritage sites and on the previous post, I've only included 3 places which consists of the Labuan Bird Park, Labuan Beaches and Chimney Museum. In this post, me and my lil' brother Samuel went to 7 places. We basically covered everything.

After the Chimney Museum, we went to Damai Point. Also known as the "Peace Park". This park was the actual place where the Japanese surrendered their weapons during the Hiroshima bombings. All the Japanese soldiers admit defeat and there ended the second world war.

This place is amazingly relaxing and beautiful. Being located near to beaches made it better. There are shop lots next to the park where people would hangout in the evening and eat there while enjoying the sea breeze. Don't miss out the good food and drinks such as "Satays" and "ABC a.k.a Ais Batu Campur" while you're visiting.

After the Damai Point in Layang-Layangan, we went to the Labuan Museum located right in the centre of Labuan City. The history of Labuan Island is there, all of it. Entrance fee: Free.






There's also a marine museum in Labuan. Entrance is also free. It is located in the Sea Sport Complex. Right opposite the Sea Sport Complex, there's a clocktower  known as the Labuan Tower. At certain period of time, it will go ding-dong. 

OH! Not forgetting Pantai Point. As I've said, Labuan is an island. Thus, everywhere you go you'll see beaches. Pantai Point is the beach accessible to and from Sea Sport Complex. Here are some pictures!

There's also another War Memorial located near to Tiara Resort Labuan. It is a memorial site for those who perished to protect Labuan during the World War 2. When we went there, the sky was dark as it was about to rain. I somehow had eerie feelings but it was all good. 





Last but not least, if you're planning to go for a jog or just a walk in the park, Labuan's Botanical Garden is the place for you to be. Just so you know, it is open to public. Here are some pictures of it.




Well, that's it I suppose. Me and Samuel spent 3 days to go to these places and heck it was worth it. If ever you're going to Labuan and need more info, just drop us an email. 

Ahhh it's almost midnight. You'll notice that we normally put up posts right before midnight (Malaysian time), just so you know, we are not nocturnals. We're just dedicated bloggers :)
