Kuching Wet market

Kuching 's Sunday market actually starts on the Saturday. It is very big wet market with alsorts of goods coming from all over the araea. Plants, animals, fish and meat from all sort of sources. The food are is nice and makes a lot of local specialities.

We spent 3 Hours there. It was great fun.

Kuching waterfront.

Kuching waterfront is not a beach but a big river. The sea is about 10 Km down stream. The waterfront is alive with big and small boats, but there was more development on the south side then the north side. the main town was on the Chinese/Indian side of the Down, and that made big difference.

Bako National Park

Bako National Park is the Jungles of Borneo.

We saw Monkeys in the trees, Land Crabs and Lizards, luckily no snakes. And sweat came off us by the gallon..

On the way back the tide was in so the long boat ride was easier going back.

The river village was a sight to see as well.

Back at the hotel is was showers for all and dinner.

Boat trip to Bako

Yes, I got mum into to a boat. For the trip to Bako National Park we had to ride down the river past the fish traps. this was in a long boat about 10 Km's of it. The tide was out when we got there so we had to walk across the sand beach to get to the Head quearters. Stepha as you can see was at the front of the boat.. He enjoyed himself..

Race to Bako Kuching Day 2

From the Orangutans, we went to Bako. To get there we took the local Bus. Great Idea. But we were not locals. The Number 6 Bus was not so easy to find so we had to ask for instructions, when we found out the bus was late. The Bus has no shocks or springs, hard seats, and the road was hard rock and plenty of large potholes..

So you when we got there we were sore ...

Orangutan Habitat Centre kunching Day 2

We started the Day go to see the Orgnatuan...

We got to see a female with here baby, An young Male and and Older Impresssive Male.

It was cheap to see and chewed up the morning well.
