City tour of Kuching, Sarawak

What happened to Day 2? You may ask if you read the title of the post and realised that I have jumped from Day 1 to Day 3. Well, since Day 2 is really the main focus of my visit to Kuching, I've decided to post that as my final Kuching post; this is called saving the best for last.

OK, after descending from Mount Singai on the third day in Kuching, we made our way back to the hotel for a refreshing shower and satisfying lunch. The next activity was what the ladies have been waiting for - shopping in the Main Bazaar street of Kuching. This is just next to the Kuching Waterfront and consists of rows of two-storey shophouses that sell a variety of antiques and handicrafts.

While the ladies were shopping, I went across the road to the waterfront to exercise my camera. This is the bank of the Sarawak River that has been built around some historical buildings.

Row, row, row your boat.........

After the ladies had shopped till they dropped (almost), we made our way back to the hotel on foot.
