Kutching

We've woken up to a less humid day, pretty hot, seems our November acclimatisation training a cold Cannock is really paying off! Matt and me are sitting in the hostel at 2:30 waiting for the others to arrive back with the food. Beth H is our team leader and we've had our meeting to discuss; accounts for the upcoming week, transport to reach Bako tomorrow and accomodation. Talked to our in-country agent and have had the tents for tomorrow delivered ready for an 7:00 bus then boat journey which will land us at Bako. Despite our early efforts to grab a maccies, Neil has scolded us,so to the fruit-sellers we go. So far we've all worked really well together and have set about getting a phone, sim and charger at a good price. Exchange rates have been compared and we're going to change set amounts later on in the day. A welcoming Kuching has been a really nice visit and though the people here may have an... interesting driving style, it's a genuinely lovely city with a beautiful waterfront and incredible temples! Food is arriving soon, but Steven is looking increasingly tasty by the minute, for those of you who don't know Steven is our hosts massive fish. We'll keep you updated when we can. Dan and Matt
