Bus Trip from Miri to Sibu and to Kuching

Bus ride from Miri to Kuching takes approximately 15 hours. *deng* So, instead of having my butt seated in the bus for that long period of time, Catherine, Hiew and I decided that we should take a break in between and that'll be at Sibu!

...the distances between each town...

Left Miri early morning at 6.30am in a bus and headed down south to our next destination; Sibu. One things for sure, the ticketing counter girl cheated me, saying that the bus ride will take only 4 hours, but...it took us double the time. Reached Sibu only at 2pm, so that means it was a 71/2 hours! There were three stops in between; Batu Niah, Bintulu and some small town between Bintulu-Sibu.

First thing we did upon arrival in Sibu - to Li Hua Hotel! It was at the corner of the town so we have a long way to walk to the other corner of the town. Got a complimentary drink from the hotel and off we start our journey in conquering Sibu town within that afternoon.

...the express boat...
*should have thought of using the express boat back to Kuching*


...clock tower next to the jetty...

...Tua Pek Kong...

Well, nothing much to see in Sibu though, so we finished walking around town even before the sun sets. Hahahaha... Bought food back to the hotel from the Night Market and watched some movies and off to bed.

...somewhere in the town...
*psst* Catherine perasan'ing reading the map

...at Sibu's bus terminal before leaving to Kuching...

The next day was another 7 hours of bus ride from Sibu to Kuching. Yeap, my butt was hurting for sitting too long in the bus. But, safely we arrived in Kuching at 10pm and off we went for our late dinner at Petanak's Western Food~!

It was indeed a loooooooooooooooooong journey but it was a fun one. Watching movie in the bus, sleeping hours through the ride, stayed in another small town and finished our tour within two hours...
