Kuching Trip (23 - 25 Mar 2011)

There was a promo of RM9 one way to Kuching by Fireflyz last Nov 2010.  Out of a sudden, I quickly booked it for adult is only RM18 return ticket, but Ryan is RM100 under infant fare, so the total air fare for 5 of us is RM172 only.

We (3 adults & 2 kids) stayed in a chalet (2 queen size beds) at the Damai Beach Restor for 2 nights with breakfast.  It's near to the pool, beach & restaurant.  Great pool area with limited free activities like table tennis, kayaks adn mini golf, etc)  Besides, lots of tours like a mangrove boat ride and a trip for Balo National Park can be arranged from the hotel and shuttle to Kuching departs daily.

Our plane arrived at 1:45 pm, we took a cab to a chinese restaurant which recommended by a friend for Kolok Mee (like normal wantan mee), but it was sold out, no choice then we tried it at another shop, it's good too...  The distance is 45 mins drive from Airport to Hotel.  We enjoyed relaxing on the beach with the kids, just that Ryan refused to sit on the sand, he said "dirty"...  At night we took a shuttle to a seafood restaurant for dinner.

Day 2:
We went to Sarawak Cultural Village, 5 mins walk to the destination which is the venue of the annual Rainforest Music Festival.  In one place, we get to know different culture and building architecture for different races in Sarawak.  Though artificial made for tourists' visit, but it's nicely done.  (But I think the original will be better).  There's an excellent live performances/shows with live music.  After that, we took a shuttle (at a reasonable fee) to Kuching Town or Waterfront for a stroll and souvenirs.  We had our lunch at a coffee shop, and tried the Sarawak Laksa, it's really delicious!  And not to miss a seafood dinner again at Topspot Seafood Food Court.  Did not get a ride on sampan at Waterfront and miss out the Museum Visit.

Might want to make few tour/sightseeing arrangements, but time consuming and the kids couldn't cope it.  Super exhausted with kids for the trip and the most of the places are not suitable for kids.

Day 3:
Had a relaxing and enjoyable breakfast, thereafter check-out at 11 am and caught the flight at 2 pm back to KL.
