Kuching Tour
Day 2 4 / 5/ 2011
This was the first breakfast we had in hotel. There was a good spread of food and varieties of Western, Oriental and local delights. After breakfast we had a package tour to the Cultural Village at Santubong from 10.00am. – 1.00 pm. The Sarawak Cultural Village Tour featured different models of Longhouses of Sarawak natives – Bidayuh, Penan, Iban, Orang ulu, Melanau besides traditional Malay house and Chinese farm house. The best attraction of the tour was the cultural dance performance telling stories of happenings in their daily living with nice music accompaniment. We had lunch in the village cafe savouring some local delights like kolo mee and laksa. Our tour guide cum driver took us to Damai Beach Resort for a brief view of this beautiful resort hotel before sending us back to town. After resting awhile we took Justin by taxi to see a doctor for body rashes. We had a bus ride back to town and had dinner in a Chinese hawker store while waiting for the rain to stop. We took a short walk back to hotel shielding ourselves from the drizzle with an umbrella and 2 raincoats. What an adventurous evening !
