Sibu – Jakar – Sri Aman – Lachau

map

I started my journey from Sibu at 7.30 in the morning. All along the journey we were assailed by the aroma of ripe durians. There were durian sellers all along the way.

jakar

Our first stop was Jakar near Sarikei.

prawn noodles

We had noodles or was it prawns? There were at least 10 prawns but so little noodles. :)

sri aman junction

We didn’t turn into Sri Aman but stopped at the junction. It was a piss stop. Momentarily lost my nerve for taking pics when I overheard remarks from some Ibans about how only a fool :) would take pics of common trees and hills.

pekan lachau

The nezt stop was Lachau. This is a lovely small country town. It is somewhere between Seri Aman and Kuching.

lachau

Sign board.

kolok mee

I finally saw kolok mee. A sure sign Kuching is not far off. I was tired. I was exhausted. I was glad the journey would soon be over.

durian seller

Durians, durians, every where.

durian isu

Durian isu. This is different from the normal durians put up for sale.

To be continued……….

    Looks like a wonderful trip, with food all along the way. Don’t worry you are not a fool for taking photos of trees and hills. You’re a blogger mah!
