Mango Bay Resort - an “eco” resort, Fiji
It had been a hectic (but productive) trip and I’ll be leaving Fiji tomorrow morning. I hope to catch up on some much needed sleep on the flight to Sydney. But I probably wouldn’t as I’m quite excited about the prospect of a 2 nights stop over in Sydney and meeting my sisters there before going back to KL on Tuesday, 3rd June 2008!
Again, it would be kinda hectic again as there are a number of things I want to see and do in my short time in Sydney! I know it’s a tough life - but someone has got to live it! Have a great weekend but watch out for falling coconuts!

It’s a long way from Kuching to Nadi, Fiji. I depart Kuching at 4pm for KLIA to catch the connecting flight from KL to Sydney, Australia. There is a 2 hours difference with Sydney and another 2 hours time difference between Australia and Fiji.
After a 7 hours plus flight from KL we arrive at 8am Sydney time. It was too ‘short’ a flight to have a really good sleep and I left the aircraft window shutter up so that I can catch the sunrise.
I’m glad I did as I managed to capture these ‘golden clouds’.

By this time I should be in Nandi, Fiji after taking the Quantas flight from Sydney. This would be my second trip there. It’s quite a long way away but I love long flights anyway.
I’ll be away from the 27th May and would be back in Kuching on the 3rd June night; meaning that I would have missed the “Hari Gawai Dayak” (which falls on the 1st June) celebrations in Sarawak.
My posting(s), if any, would be sporadic in view of this but meanwhile here are some of the photos I took from my last trip. Traveling overseas is a tough job but someone’s got to do it! *sigh*

I arrived at Kuching airport just past midnight and was ‘shocked’ to discover that there were no taxi at the taxi stand! And this is supposed to be an ‘international’ airport. Anyway I ended up calling my younger brother who lives nearby at BDC to pick me up. This is something unacceptable to anyone visiting Kuching that the airport and tourism authorities should look into.
I have emails to answer; meetings to attend and things to follow up even though I have only been away for 4 days of which only one is a working day. So my photos and stories about my Kenyir Kayaking Expedition would have to wait a bit; suffice to say at this moment that Geoff Foote, Mel and myself had the ‘complete’ kayaking experience on our 3 ½ days paddling on Tasik Kenyir. Complete as in having overcast skies, unbearable heat, bright crystal clear skies, glassy-like surfaces, turbulent waters, storm, rain, waves, wind, etc Yeah, we had a swell time.

Oh. And this is FH2o (in his monkey suit) sporting a ‘wild’ 4 days unshaven look as he paddles his way through the traffic jam at Tabuan Jaya this morning slowly immersing himself back again into the wilds of this corporate world. *sigh*
FH2o - leading the wilds into the ways of the man … *ahem*

Lake Toba, 24th March 2008
We’ll setting off on first light and according to Geoff, our ‘kayaking godfather’ (name coined by Mindy), this will be our plan:-
Day 1 – paddle to the caves at Bewah/Taat. About 30-35km. There is a campsite somewhere there or bush camp. This will possibly be our longest paddle.
Since I’m unable to post any photos until I get back on 20th May, late Tuesday night; (and I hate posts without any pics) here’s the last photo I took of Lake Toba after our last day of kayaking there, on our way back - for our first day of kayaking at Lake Kenyir!
Time to get WET!
Note: There’s really no wireless internet @ Lake Kenyir and neither am I bringing along my notebook. This is a “time-stamped” post - in other words, postdated. A really cool and useful feature of WordPress.
