Our Vacation ~ Meow !! (PART I)

PART I

Kitorang pergi vacation last weekend to "meow" Sarawak. Departed on Saturday morning dan balik sini on Monday afternoon. First day, just jalan-jalan kat Waterfront and pergi shopping souvenirs kat shops across Waterfront. Kat sini, segala benda berunsur Sarawak boleh didapati. So, advisable to stay in the hotel around area kat waterfront. Our stay is at Grand Margherita Hotel (sungguh tak islamic nama hotel tu.. formerly known as Holiday Inn. tapi, don't worry - they already provide sejadah kat dalam room without asking from room service). Hotel ni is the only hotel yang berada di riverbank. Yang lain such as Hilton and Riverview are across the road. (Tapi, Hilton's location is quite nice.. recommended utk sape-sape yang nak pergi holiday kat sana... nearer to the shopping area).

Second day, kitorang ambik tourist guide (he is a free lancer).. naik Myvi since kitorang satu family jek. Start our tour at 8.15 am, shoot to Semenggoh Wild Centre. Tengok Orang Utan, feeding time diorang is at 9.00 to 10.00 am and afternoon session is at 3.00 to 4.00 pm. So, we chose the morning session. Orang Utan ni semi-wild. Yang wild one mungkin tak datang kat area ni. From the entrance, need to walk up a bit hilly track around 200 meters. Entrance is only RM3.00 per head. Next stop is Pasar Serikin, nearby Kalimantan border and 1km from Garisan Khatulistiwa. So, you can imagine the sun shines. Almost 80% barang-barang from Indonesia.. guess what ? Cheap. Segala barang ciplak, bag, baju, cap, glasses (just like padang besar). Telekung, tudung indon, curtain, baju kebaya, alas meja, periuk belanga, udang kering, sotong kering, dan segala macam barang indon lah. We had our lunch at Pekan Bau. Udang galah besar giller.. priced at RM6.00/7.00 per piece (kat sini takleh dapat woo..even kat Endau, mau 20 hinggit sekor kalau kat sini). Next, kitorang pergi tengok buaya.. (kelaka jekkan? sarawak kan ke terkenal dengan Bujang Senang.. so, why not? ada show buaya jumping tau)... at Jong's Crocodile Farm with entrance of RM16.00 for adult and RM8.00 for kids. Next, kitorang saje jalan-jalan kat Wisma Sebarkas without tujuan dan last sekali pergi Pasar Satok beli apa lagi.. terubuk masin'lah. Sampai balik hotel at 5.00 pm. Our tourist guide fee is RM250.00.

Enjoy the pics.
