I woke early to go out to the riverbank areas as the light was terrible yesterday for photos. The sun was in the wrong direction! I captured the scenes I wanted, got a breakfast of timingu (or tiamiso, or rice-flour batter cooked in a pan then pushed into soup, making it resemble freshly made noodles).
The hotel offered me a late checkout till 3pm which meant that I was able to relax, review/edit photos till going to the airport for my 5pm flight back to Kuching. My friend Boo collected me from the airport and just by sheer coincidence I was able to meet two friends Paul and Richard whom I hadn’t seen for about 30 years!
