Bako one day trip

Had been wanted to visit Bako and we finally make it ! YAY!

Went to coffee talk nasi lemak for breakfast. Ordered nasi lemak with rendang, curry, and all the flavors available. Everything is so good! Definitely going back for more!

Depart to Bako National Park after breakfast, it is around 45 min journey from Kuching.

RM10 for entrance fee per person, Malaysian rate.

RM30 boat ride (return) per person, 20 min journey 

RM35 per boat to see the sea stack

RM50 for crocodile watching, around 1 hour 30 min ride 

but sadly we didn't see any crocodiles that day. 

at the port 

forestry officer showed us a crocodile in their office. We wasn't prepare for this and we shouted like what, so lose face. LOLOL. 

We departed from the port to see the sea stack aka landmark then the boat man dropped us at T. Paku (0.8km to Park HQ), We trekked along the trail to park HQ and took a boat from park HQ to go back to the port.

We didn't see any crocodile but just crocodile's prey.

we headed back to the pier to gather with my friends and depart to the sea stack.

The sea stack!!

we didn't see any other people on the island when the boatmen first dropped us at the T. Paku. It is like we own the island!

this creature comes in time when we wanted to have our sandwiches.

beautiful roots along the trail.

2D1N in Semban, Kuching

Spent my birthday weekend joining my friends to Semban. I was so excited when I know they're going to visit the long neck tribe in Sarawak. It was extra fun on the way return to Kuching because it was raining heavily and I didn't bring my umbrella. I swear this makes the return trip extra fun! once in a lifetime, walking under the rain and get drenched!

Six hours of jungle trekking is real challenging, I swear this is the first and also the last time! I couldn't feel my legs on the first night, I was worried how am I going to leave this Kampung tmr with my sore legs. Counterpain gel is life saving and of course prayers! Part of me was thinking whether I can survive because 6 hours are way too challenging, what if I died on my birthday, HAHAHAHHA! 

I did learnt something from this trip, sharing some spiritual gain. Life is like jungle trekking, ups and downs. You were tired but you gotta go on. Seeing or knowing what is in front isn't necessarily helpful. Sometime it can be depressing when you know you gotta climb up a bit more when you are already so tired. But God is always here with you, He is the light, the path, the strength. Let God lead you and guide you, He will provide all your need and protect you under His wings. Ask for strength when you're lack of, ask for courage when you need some, ask for faith when you have none. He has abundant and always willing to give. What I should/ can do is to take one step at a time, be careful & patience. Don't worry about what is in front of you, if you have doubt, always look back and count your blessing. You will always be amazed by God's grace.
