Current Travels

A Most Awesome Souvenier from Sarawak

1 to 7 Jan 2008 - Niah, Sibu, Kapit, Kuching - (Malaysia)



Some retrospective notes - made in 2018!

A very rough and scary ferry crossing

Finding a rafflesia flower

Buying our cannon

On vague directions, finding the best garlic crabs ever




In the "Trader's Cave", Niah

Some strange dessert, with crushed ice, jelly, and that yellow stuff on top is corn! Not a fan!

Oh what a magnificent dinner. Garlic crabs, and Bamboo Clams.

Yes, that is an 19th century cannon, and no, it is not coming home in the hand luggage, but it is on its way.
