We took things easy
in the morning, making some toast for breakfast and then packing up.
We had kept the business card given to us by the cab driver who drove
us out to Bako National Park and yesterday we arranged for him to
pick us up this morning to take us back to Kuching. It was raining
when he arrived at about 11am and still raining when we drove slowly
past a car sitting upside-down in a ditch beside the road.
The journey back to
Kuching was short - less than an hour - but still took a bit longer
than it should have due to an accident on a bridge on the city's
outskirts. Back at the Nova Hotel, we were given our old room, where
we dumped our stuff and then headed out to McDonald's for lunch. We
then visited a few malls trying to find some insect repellent, as
we're all out. Back in the room, we all had showers and I called
HSBC, who gave us the wonderful and long-awaited news that our
buy-to-let mortgage had been approved.
For dinner we went
back to our alley-way 'restaurant, which we now know is called Tai
Pan Food Corner – apparently named for the Tai Pan Hotel, which
forms one side of the alley. We got through six satay sticks, two
plates of rice noodles, a bowl of wonton noodles, four beers and two
cokes for the princely sum of US$11.
