"1730 hours, board MV Equatorial for a 1½ hours sunset
river cruise on the Sarawak River"
We were bright and early, and had lots of time to pose in
front of the Equatorial!
The cruise will last from 5.30 to 7 pm
"discover more than 25 historical landmarks, Borneo River Life and 360% panoramic view of Kuching City" according to the brochure...
Stepping inside, we were pleased with the air-conditioned interior (at least daughter was, as Guilin Cruise ship was even more luxurious) as compared to this:
my friend Fong and her girls, in an authentic boat cruise!!!
went on the upper deck to the hot sunshine
while daughter stayed back in the air "conned" room
the view should be better here...
hahaha!!! I thought I was early at 5 o'clock, but all the seats and tables are all taken at the upper deck!!!
Everybody else is earlier than us!!!
so went back to the lower deck to join my daughter
Even had to queue up for the unlimited orange cordial drinks, and free Kuching layer cake!
Nice or what!!!
refreshing drinks, and as much cakes as you can ingest!!!
so nice, enjoying the cruise, the drinks, the ambiance and the cakes
the layer cake that came with the cruise ticket price
the combo of hotdogs and canned soft drinks
the cruise is about to start, right on the dot at 5.30
