We love Sarawak!
And we've decided to Quit smoking!
And I don't know why this is all one entry!
But it is!
And it's long!


Kuching

We flew into Kuching, home to possibly my favourite funky coloured building ever. You can't get lost in Kuching as long as you can find this building it guides you home and makes you sm...

Same route back to Kuching, via Lachau and Serian. A welcome lunch stop to buy local fruit.
Finally, back at The Kuching Hilton, Steph ventured out in a violent storm to got Mr Clean's Chinese laundry. Our kit was pretty sweat-soiled and we were fast running out of underwear!
5.7 kilos of laundry washed for £11, but well worth it.

22nd Dec We took the early 3 hour ferry from KK to Lebuan, at tax free island owned by malaysia and from there took a 1 hour ferry to Brunei.  We met  a woman from  New Zealand  on the ferry who was living in Brunei with her Husband and some children . She was on a beer run to lebuan as you can't buy alcohol in Brunei - at all! She gave us a lif...

What's Hot: spending 4.5hrs underground caving, the clearwater and wind caves, ribbons of bats emerging from deer cave, watching a hawk pick off a bat, swiftlet ecolocation clicks, squeezing through narrow rock gaps, racer snakes, checking out the Royal Mulu Resort buffet, a 15 bed dorm that is quiet, climbing to the pinnacles, bats sleeping in ...

This final leg of the Borneo adventure had a really early start to it! Discounting the food/pee stop of the overnight coach, the day commenced at 5.40am at the Indonesian-Malaysian border where we had to leave the (not-so) creature comforts of the coach and wait among throngs of travellers eager to enter Malaysia.. It sure was a surreal feeling....

Jumpa Lagi Borneo... Until later... see you later, in one of the local languages: Bahasa Malaysia. This will be my last entry from this side of the world as the next time you all hear from me will be with a 212 area code!! Leaving on a jet plane 5:50 AM Sat, 12/9/06., Or as they put it here... 09/12/06. Everything is in reverse here..5:50 AM Sat...

This morning, I got back to my hostel in Kuching from Bako National Park. Along with six other folks I met at my hostel, I spent last night in the park. Bako NP was very reminiscent of Corcovado National Park in Costa Rica where Jed and I traveled to a few years ago. In order to get to Bako NP, you take a bus/taxi to a small dock where you then ...

Not an interesting entry I'm afraid! David and I got up for the buffet breakfast - a really fab spread with a good choice of everything. Then we faffed around before heading out to the pool area. Spent most of the day lounging there - sunbathing, swimming in the pool, admiring the mountains and beach, napping, reading, lunching, chatting. In the...
