Free and Easy Sunday drive to the Kampung along Jalan Borneo Heights, Padawan

On a lazy Sunday we decided to spare our afternoon for a car-ride along Jalan Borneo heights, Padawan, a free and easy drive which hubby have been wanting to pursue for quite a while. Though we experienced slight drizzle on our way there, but soon enough the sun started to shine again. Here's to share from the photos which I've captured.....

The duo Outing.....

With the strong heat this time of the year, we will normally stay indoor during weekends or even on Public Holidays, most of which my hubby will do some light gardening in the shaded area of our garden.  However, during a recent public holiday, the 'tender sun' gave us a positive change of mind and we made our last minute plan to go for a slow drive,  a little bit further out of Kuching City.


Our first stop, Pasir Pandak......
As it is a public holiday the area is rather crowded, many family enjoy their day out picnicking with their young children.  Small stalls are being set up by local businessmen to cater for the needs of the picnickers and passers by.  The authorities are coming up with lodgings which is still in progress, as such I believe that Pasir Pandak will be open up and more people or tourist will love to visit and enjoy this beautiful. quiet and serene place.

After capturing some photos, grab something to munch, we then made our way to our next stop.....

Damai Central......








This outing is awesome and I love this Mee Mamak as it's deliciously tasty!

Wow! How fast time flies...... [Final]

Experiencing light drizzles the night before, the morning is much colder as compared to the couple of days ago, but we love it!  Just before we left the house for breakfast uncle announce our itinerary for the day, STANLEY....  WoW!! Whispering to hubby "Stanley is a beautiful place!"

As usual, after breakfast we take a slow walk to one of the bus stand, board a bus to the bus station. and waited for another one which took us to our destination, Stanley.  

The photos tells it all......

On our way we made friend with a cat too, such a cutie!

It's another fruitful day for both me and hubby, and special thanks to uncle for being our personal guide ~ smile ~  

We have simple stir-fried rice vermicelli and kway tiaw for dinner as we have been having too much meat for the past couple of days.... YUMMY!


We spend the rest of the night chatting as usual before we knock off to bed.  

Waking up earlier than usual on 12th March (Thursday) as our holiday is coming to an end.  We have breakfast nearby....
Get back home, relax for a while, with all our bags packed and we are ready to go......
Uncle Kee insisted to see us off at the airport, so we walked to the nearby bus stand, hop into the 9.30 am bus and off we go,  More sharing continues throughout the bus journey to the airport.....


After check-in we need to walk to the opposite side of the building for departure.  As we are still early uncle suggested to have lunch, then proceed to the departure hall.  Bye uncle, we will be back again.....

Supposedly, our flight is at 1.15pm but due to congestion at the runway our plane took off an hour later, thus arriving KLIA2 about 6.00 in the evening instead of the actual time of 5.05pm.  The weather in KL is fine, photos taken at 5.14pm.


Our next flight back to Kuching is at 8.15pm, thus, we have our dinner at KLIA2, slowly made our way to the departure hall and ......


we are arriving Kuching "Home Sweet Home!"
