[Day 3&4] Kuching 18~21 May 2019

Day 3 was another fun and adventurous day. We booked another day tour, this time with Rucksack Rainforest. Package C comes with a visit to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre to see orangutans, a longhouse sightseeing and 11km kayak adventure down the stream of Sungai Sarawak Kiri.

Breakfast at Lau Ya Keng. In the morning, a different set of hawkers were found there. We managed to find the "pork porridge" which was highly recommended by the locals, whom we talked to from the shops nearby.



The driver picked us up from the hostel at 8am. We had another couple together with us, also from Singapore. First stop was Semenggoh Wildlife Centre.

Next up, visit to a modernised longhouse. The guide told us if we would really like to visit the traditional longhouses, those are not very accessible by car and requires walking up to 2 hours. Hence, we can only see the more modern ones which are reachable by car easily.

We arrived at the bridge where we are going to have lunch and canoe nearby.

Let's go! Canoeing 11km was not as easy as it seems.. hard life.. it sure was tiring.

It was easiest for Jean, all the way with our strong guide

Almost arriving our destination, we took a rest and fed some fishes.




Special request for Jean to take photo with her co-canoer cum guide

Day 4: Time to go home. Our flight was 1025 am in the morning. We had time to go for a quick breakfast, more wanton noodles.. and beef noodles.




 

Time to go.

Our favourite Jeans hubby gladly help to queue for 45 mins after arriving early at the airport. Thanks to him, everyone has a chance to finally try it.



Haha.. we were given 7 burgers for 6 pax


Bye for now
