Day 15 / 16 From SIBU to KUCHING

KUCHING. Nothing beats after a hard 10 hours drive when we got invited by F & B Mgr, Mr Alphonso Lim for a cocktail party celebrating their new bar outlet. And living up to its name, " Kuchings Fountain " is postioned strategically along the streets for tourists to take a memorable shot on their visits.





Moving around town the following day to see the skyline of Kuching and looking for an insurance company to cover our 3rd party insurance coverage before proceeding into Kalimantan.


Kuching has about 700,000 within the city area and another 300,00 spread over a vast area.





Kargherita Hotel, 4 star, but comfortable and reasonable price at RM $ 172 nett, includes brakfast for 2. View from room over the far bank is pleasant. Buildings structures has a vintage look and are well painted , providing a scenic frontage for the hotel












Dinner at Margherita chinese restaurant for 2 nights at a row was inevitable because of rain. Otherwise the ambience along the coastal front was very well lit.







Our Pajero doing a final check at Mitsubishi worksop after 16
gruelling days. The car was in perfect condition for our 3rd leg into Kalimantan, Indonesia. Friendly Kuching did not levy any charge for the one hour service .
Plan is to go into Entikong, border of Sarawak and Kalimantan, travel south and hit for Singkawang- Michell's hometown
