PART 3: Back on the road - South East Asia.
 

Kuching, Malaysia, August 9, 2010

Now I'm at the airport. Actually already on the plane, waiting for the take off. It's 9 pm.
 
My last day in Borneo... Kuching is a nice city. Overall, maybe the nicest here so far in Borneo. A good place for someone who wants to retire and have it quiet. It's close to the rest of Asia, so the location is right too. Personally, I still need something more exciting. But if you want to take it easy, take strolls on the waterfront, Kuching would be good for you.
 
On my last day I went to see the crocodile farm. It took about an hour to get there because of traffic (bus 3A, 3 Ringgit), and about 30 minutes to get back. Jongs Crocodile Farm - it is what is says, a crocodile farm. Entrance 16 Ringgit. They have corcodiles there, of course, including a few salt water type. Huge. They also have a variety of other animals on display, like a small private ZOO. Some turtles, Malay bears, birds and monkeys. The crocodiles live in a wild like environment (except those sorted by size which live in large concrete pens), while the rest in cages and enclosures. I must say that the place could be better maintained. Some enclosures were way sub-standard and not clean. At 11 am and 3 pm the feed the crocs, and this includes a jumping crocodile show.
 
Below, a few photos from Kuching and the Jong's Crocodile Farm.

          Photo: Kuching, Malaysia. Jong's Crocodile Farm. They also had an otter family. Very cute animals, and I alos saw them during feeding. Unfortunately, there was a fence made from a really fine mesh around them, so I had problems with focusing the camera. Still, it's a fun photo and shows the spirit of the otter.
 

 
My life has always been about freedom and I shall continue to walk this path.
Safe travels ! ........... Stan
