- The scars of war cut deep. Even the landscape of one of the most remote and undeveloped islands on earth has been shaped by the destructive power of mankind. In World War II, when Japan sought control over the island of Borneo, they waged a military campaign against the British and Dutch there called the Battle for Borneo. And it was brutal.
But to see the life and beauty that has grown out of a site where this horrific bombing took place is… unbelievable.
We get the opportunity to delve into the history of this island, and see for ourselves what has become of this WWII bomb crater.

Juz sharing ... Sabah is known as "Land Beneath The Wind" so expect it to be windy 😅.
We are absolutely loving our time here!
Thank, to promoted our Borneo Tour Industry.
It is such a beautiful part of the world to explore!
Wow, this whole Borneo bike tour will be so amazing! I am sure the state tourism board will support!
It would be such an incredible opportunity to guide people around a beautiful part of the world!
Hey Tim i always get a giggle out of all your bomb jokes. Marisa always amazes me with facts and description of people places and events. You two would be a great tour guide! Talk about having a good time. Great idea!
😂 thank you so much!! We can’t wait to guide a few people around such a beautiful part of the world! There is so much to see!
We are so glad that you are enjoying the journey along with us!
Hello there brother and sister here I’m visiti your channel enjoy your holiday in Malaysia and Sabah Sarawak Borneo…I’m from Sarawak Borneo.god’s blessed
Thank you so much for riding along with us! We are loving every single day here in Sabah!
Magnificent!
What a great idea to lead a tour of your friends around the island.
Many of us would love to join you but few will be able.
They will be the fortunate ones, while the rest of us will look forward to the videos.
For future snorkel trips, you will find it much less tiring to teach yourself to not use your arms, only use your legs.
Without fins our feet do almost nothing to move us through the water so we learn to use our arms/hands, but when we have fins on our feet it is the opposite, our legs/fins/flippers do everything and trying to use our arms often slows us down and certainly is more tiring. Also, try to learn to kick with more range with very little bend at the knee.
Actually, just watch a few how-to videos on the University of TH-cam, there must be many teaching proper diving with fins.
Anybody can put on fins but unless they get instruction on how to swim with them, they just swim like they do without fins and don't realize how much they can help when used correctly. Long sweeps with your legs and no arm movement at all. Long gentle sweeps that is, not short movements with lots of power as we learned how to swim.
Use just a gentle stroke when you are upside down (vertically head down, feet above you) to maintain depth. Our internal "flotation" will pop us up to the surface if we stop kicking and it uses more energy to stay down when horizontal than when vertical. We have to have speed forward to stay down but no speed is required when vertical, just a little gentle sweep of your fins.
I love the music and your humor always! Thanks for making these videos.
You've made Borneo seem oh-so-close. Great adventure. And I just got my second post card yesterday. Squee!
That's Awesome Jayne! Only half ever seem to show up 🤣!
Thanks again for all of the support and for riding along with us!
Hello Tim and Marisa notier.
Fyi, Sabah only became a part of Malaysia in 1963. Prior to that, it was an autonomous region on its own known as North Borneo. At one time linked to the Sulu Sultanate and also the Brunei Sultanate.
I'm from kuching & my wife's from sabah. we both work in KL. So we never have a chance to go to those places that u 2 have been to. Would love to do what u do one day. Thanks for the beautiful videos, the amazing view that u have captured. Still in awe gazing at mount kinabalu while going around it.
We are having the time of our lives as we explore this beautiful part of the world!
We can’t wait to travel around Peninsular Malaysia 🇲🇾 as well!
Thank you for being a part of the journey!
@@2UpAndOverloadedwhen travel peninsular..beside from johor, melaka, negeri sembilan, Putrajaya, KL all the way to Penang, Langkawi and Perlis. i suggest u guys explore east coast of peninsular also like Pahang, Terengganu and Kelantan. East coast peninsular got scenic roads along the coast with many beautiful beaches and island. Its where beautiful island such as Pulau perhentian, pulau redang located. I think kuala terengganu very nice to stay a few days to explore local and the city very baeutiful with Draw Bridge, Taman Tamadun Islam, Crystal Mosque, Terengganu State Muzium epic style.
From Pahang to Kuala Terengganu there is large Petronas Refinery plant at Chukai Kemaman, also iconic to that area because at night the sky on the area will light up from petroleum waste burning up high.
Peninsular got high land road famous for riders such as Karak highway, fraser hills, genting highland, cameron highland and Jalan Raya Timur Barat (east west Road), link between east (kelantan, terengganu) to Kedah, Penang and Perak through Belum Rainforest and Banding Lake..one of the oldest rainforest.
All I can say is Terima Kasih to both of you.
Thank you so much for riding along with us! We are loving our time here!
Thank you Malaysian Prime Minister 6th for pan borneo highway.. amazing free ride along
It has been an incredible journey so far!
These underwater shots look stunning!! You guys really rock!
You two are the best! Big hugs!
Its a good news to do a mototcycle tour in Borneo. There is still a lot to explored and there is so many thing to discover in Sarawak and Sabah. But in November and Disember might be a raining season here. Anyway its a good news from your guys. Stay safe keep smiling and enjoys your tour 😁❤️
Thanks Lee! We have to fine tune our dates for sure! We can’t wait to put our plan into action!
nice @@2UpAndOverloaded
What a great idea guys. I'm looking at my calendar to fit in somehow
That is awesome to hear! We would love to have you along on our 1st guided tour!!
Thanks for tuning in and please do stay in touch!
More of Borneo tour pls..
Born in Sabah but now residing in the West. Never visited some of the place that you been through....so will take note of it...
It has been absolutely incredible!! You can take a look at our itinerary (or join us on a tour!) at 2upandoverloaded.com!
Thanks for riding along with us!
Hi Tim and Marissa! Nov-Dec are not good months to tour Borneo as the rainy season is going to soak you up most of the time. Mar-Sep have the least rainfalls and your journey will be more pleasant.
Thank you so much for the advice!
We will definitely adjust our schedule accordingly!!!
@@2UpAndOverloaded Recently there are internet memes asking those who sing badly in Sabah to sing continuously so it can rain because it has been dry for some time. (Malaysians like to jokingly tease those who sing badly will make the sky pour.)
Speaking of post-WWII history, Kudat is the most important district in Sabah because Mustapha Harun, the 1st Governor of Sabah was born here...
We are absolutely loving our time here! It is such a beautiful part of the world to explore on 2 wheels!
@@2UpAndOverloaded And I see that your bike suddenly stopped after hitting a hole somewhere? Well, we had to face it on a daily basis! Sad but true...
Great to hear plans for the tour. I am routing for you guys to make it happen! There is so much that you can still explore.
Thank you so much for the support! We can't wait to show off this part of the world to everyone!
Great video thank you very well done thanks for taking us along cheers to ya
Thank you good sir!
Another awesome vlog, you really keep us in suspend and havs to wait for the next episode.
Hopefully it wasn't too bad of an experience for you guys (as your motorcycle suddenly stopped). Cheers!
I just got your book, "Maiden Voyage" only a few pages into it but loving it. I bought it from Amazon brand new and not from another seller. I wanted to make sure you got all the proceeds you deserve. I have watched numerous videos of yours and being able to picture both of you and hearing your voices while reading adds to the well written story. Peace to you both, and if you are ever in Connecticut I would gladly point you in the direction of adventure here in the east.- Ride safely, Eric
You are too kind!!!!
Thank you so much for the support and we definitely would love to sign it in person if we ever find ourselves in Connecticut!
Thanks again and we hope that you enjoy every page!!
Great video as always!
Thanks again! That is awesome to hear!!
Nicely done. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers! 🍻

Juz sharing again ... October to December is the annual "year end monsoon" with lotz of rain and flood. Be sure to plan ahead well!
Good advice! We still have to tweak a few things, and this is great info.
Maybe during September and then again in January...
Very beautiful Tim and Marissa..❤

There are place name KUNDASANG in sabah.. It's might interest to both of you guys😊
Stay tuned 😎. We definitely stopped there!!

In snorkeling, the trick is, you hyperventilate and then blow out the air to go down without having to fight to stay down.
Interested in the tour
That is awesome to hear!! Please shoot us an email at 2UpAndOverloaded@gmail.com! We are just wrapping up the available dates and packages! We would love to have you along for the ride!
I’ll go! But it doesn’t sound too affordable at this point in life.
It is an incredible part of the world to ride around! We can’t wait to share everything we have been up to!
We hope that you enjoy the ride along with us virtually or beside us on the road!
Either way, we’re glad to have you along for the adventure!

Why not continue the trip to the south of Sabah, this place is also interesting to explore
Stay tuned! We ride to southern Sabah as well!
When you figure out the Hamburger and Pizza places, I'm on my way !!!
🤣 the pizza here isn't too bad, but the hamburgers aren't worth hunting down. 🤣
If you are into Astro Photography, Tip Of Borneo is one of the best place to be in Malaysia. Enjoy & have fun!!
Thanks for the tip! (no pun intended) 🤣
Carlos Freire - Brasil - Very, very, very beautiful. Tank's.
Now that you guys have left Sabah long time ago...when you arrive home in the state please tell the people over there Sabah is worth to visit if they should come to Borneo. Cheers!
We absolutely love this hidden treasure that is Sabah!
Interested!
That is awesome to hear!! Please shoot us an email at 2UpAndOverloaded@gmail.com! We are just wrapping up the available dates and packages! We would love to have you along for the ride!
18:50 those birds are Asian Swallow. whenever you see the formation on the electrical lines, never park your vehicles underneath it. it'll be their dump site 😅
😂 good advice!
my favorite couple...
You are too kind! Thank you so much!
thanks too@@2UpAndOverloaded
Who that cat aunty and uncle he so cute
That was fun!
Tim, you have too much hair to be a beluga. As a hairless homosapien 2.0, I lay claim to that image.
Does the Borneo Tour mean that you are staying there?
Not a bad place to put down roots!
❤❤❤
😊
👍👍👍👍👍

The japanese were very cruel towards locals and pow. In sandakan, there is a memorial to remember the sandakan death march.
😢 the war was absolutely horrible.
@2UpAndOverloaded thailand allowed the japanese to attack the peninsula from the north down to singapore. Saving it from being conquered. Pows in the peninsula were sent to the death railway at the river kwai(kanchanaburi). Locals too. Villages disappeared overnight due to mass killings.
My 2nd uncle was captured by the maps during world war 2, he was abt 15 yrs old. They took him to Myanmar to build the railway. He managed to returned to malaya after the japs surrendered.
He passed away 20 yrs ago..
That is horrific. We are sorry to hear that.
Swiftlets? Bird's nest
Someone said they could be Asian Swallows. 🤷
That birds is the Swifts, in Malay called burung layang-layang well they feeding on insect flying at that hours. That is hunting fest to them🤣
Aku berharap Kalian datang mengunjungi Indonesia sambutan yang hangat dan memiliki sejuta pesona keindahan alam Indonesia 😊
We loved our time in Indonesia and will be returning on our way back to Bali!
@@2UpAndOverloadedterimakasih banyak kalian Harus mengelilingi pulau Bali dan Palau Sulawesi 😊
this is the way.. promote ur owne place goodness.. not bashing others...
And only if I can ride a BMW and not one of the orange things that leaves you stranded along side the road
🤣 There will be BMW's available!
Beautiful place but island life must have been hell under Japanese occupation, both for the population and alled pows. Great series though. 🏍👍🏻
Thanks for tuning in! Island life is definitely more relaxed at the moment! We are loving our time here!
