I am glad that Uncle Ni and Sister Monica wanted to go to Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak, for a few days. I am glad they didn't mind using the bus. It was a long ride!
The total distance from Miri city to Kuching city is 827 km (Miri-Batu Niah: 89 km, Batu Niah-Bintulu:118 km, Bintulu-Mukah: 210 km, Mukah-Sibu: 7 km, Sibu-Sarikei: 71 km, Sarikei-Sri Aman: 162 km, Sri Aman-Kuching: 170 km)
It takes 55 minutes by Boeing 737 from Miri to Kuching while it took us over 14 hrs by road. It was a good experience for all of us.
Freesia Express left Miri terminal at 2030 hrs Monday 22 May and arrived at the Kuching terminal at 1030 hrs Tuesday 23 May.
We wanted to change our ride back to Miri to the day time. so that we could see more during the way but Freeasia run only at 2030 hrs at this time. Unless there were enough passengers for the 0900 and 1230 hrs ride, the two rides are not available.
My father has lived in Kuching for over 3 years before he moved to Miri and he had travelled on the road to Kuching a couple of times. Uncle Ni now knows where his belated brother has been and we all know now what it is like travelling by road to Kuching! It is economical (80 Ringgit for Miri-Kuching and another 80 Ringgit for Kuching-Miri) but it can be verrrrrrrrrrrrry tiring for some people! I am pleased with myself! I was okay and so were Uncle Ni and Sister Monica!
