Checked out from Kingwood Inn: 0615
Reached Miri Airport: 0640
Departed: 0810
Reached Kuching International Airport: 0915
Car Rental (thru Internet, a lot cheaper than the price they offer at the airport booth: Hertz – Matrix RM115/day
Cat Museum (located in the same building as DBKU)
Lunch: Kopi O’ Corner (Satok area, across Bank Negara, underneath the flyover, but if you go there during weekdays, then u need to purchase the parking coupon)
Yummy Laksa Sarawak
Indian Street- Shopping time! Need to bargain for price, the place to buy local textiles... (at the end of the street, you can see the Textile Museum and the Handicraft Centre but we didn’t manage to visit them)
Checked in at Telang Usan Hotel (Ban Hock Road):
RM120/nite, twin single beds incl. Breakfast- Telang Usan means Sweet River (Iban language)
Strolled along Waterfront, hired a penambang (water taxi) for 4 of us only, the man took us to witness the mesmerizing sunset along Sarawak River and the cruise took about 45 mins for RM60. The boat cruise costs RM60/person for 45mins. So, I believe it was a good bargain, though we could hv negotiated with the man but we decided to agree with his price
Dinner: Barok Village, nice deco but the food was not as nice as what I’ve read from several blogs... though we enjoyed the Midin Belacan (local paku pakis- a type of leaf plant)
Crossed the river again by the local council’s boat for free.
Stopped by at McD for sundaes, and there was where I managed to pull out the fish bone that got stucked while eating dinner at Barok, it was a painful experience!
Sweet dreams, back to the hotel to rest...zzzz
