9 July Batang Ai Longhouse Resort, Sarawak

I won't even attempt to add pictures to this, as this an incredibly slow internet connection. I just tried to reply to an email on our webmail and it timed out!

Our flight from Heathrow to KL was quite quick, in spite of leaving late on Friday. We really seem to pick our timing. Friday was the first anniversary of the London bombing and security at Heathrow was at a max. Fortunately, our drive from Bristol there only took 1 3/4 hours, so we had plenty of time. The plane from KL to Kuching was delayed, so we were over an hour late there. Thank heavens the Hilton at Kuching was air conditioned as it was very hot and humid outside. We were upgraded for some reason and had a suite! Great value. It took about 3 1/2 hours to drive to the dam wall on Batang Ai, then a boat from the hotel picks us up and takes us across the dam. It is very lush and tropical, the pool temp is about the same as the air - ie about 35C but the rooms have AC

I don't have a phone contact any more. We ran out of time on our card in England and I did not bother to renew it - was a bit complicated as it was a French simcard, so apologies to anyone who has SMSed us and we have not replied.
