Day 29

sunny

Day 29. I'm surprised the wobbly fan spinning over my head didn't kill me in the night! It was toast for breakfast in the crowded hostel kitchen in Kuching. There were other tourists here, taking all the bread and coffee for themselves, leaving us with mere morcels!
This morning, Samira went with Adam and Lyndz to the local doctors, to see if they could find out what "the rash" was. Samira had had it all holiday, all over her legs - it was only now that she'd decided it was time for a trip to the doctors! It can't be TOO life threatening!
Time for luxury! Leaving most of our kit that we wouldn't need in the hostel, the rest of us walked across town to the bus station. Using our hard saved money that we hadn't completely blown on booze (and there was a fair bit of it!) we had decided to go to a luxury resort called Santabong. At the bus station, we were forced to get speedy taxi-busses after we found no coaches were heading Santubong way... despite our bargaining and trying for ages! And the fact that the timetable had said "yes, busses go to Santubong." Not literally.
Speeding along surprisingly decent roads to the tune of the Kaiser Chiefs (Soos had bought a dodgy copy somewhere!), it was quite a fun journey! The Santabong "luxury" resort was mostly deserted, and we were apparently too early to check in... although I'm sure they could've squeezed us in their tight schedule! Thus, we went to the private resort beach! "Jellyfish beach" (so said the warning signs!) The beach was almost perfect sand, with a shallow, warm, tropical sea. MMM, sheer heaven! A quick dip was had by all... until we realised we were SURROUNDED by jellfyfish! Hundreds of the bastards! Straight back out of the water we came! It was a good decision, as making fallic sand-creations was such a hoot!
Now, no matter what anyone says, sunbathing on the equator at midday is NOT, repeat NOT a good idea! I think I'm melting...
After dusting down the sand from our sweaty, suncream-coated bodies, we checked in after lunchtime! Our rooms were all in this one block, opposite and next to each other. Fun, fun, fun! Me, Calv and Kyle had one room together. Only problem was the fact that the room only had one double bed! Ah well... ;)
Samira, Adam and Lyndz rejoined us at the Santubong resort, still not knowing what "the rash" was! A pretty pointless doctors trip!
After dumping and sorting our kit in our rooms, we all decided to spend the afternoon by and in the deserted swimming pool! Time for a spot of swimming and sunbathing, methinks! We also played some water ball, which meant my shoulders were exposed once again to the full glare of the sun! Oh so red raw...
It was a good afternoon, with yummy cocktails, sunset watching and feeling horribly sunburnt again! Equally, this was relaxing time; no deadlines, no rushing, no panicking - and it felt good!

Cosy, cosy sleep now ;) !
