Monday. Nice sleep in. Ran some errands and FINALLY got the accommodation on the mountain booked! Managed to get a cancellation, so we're all very happy about that. Georgie still couldn't confirm if she could go cause she's waiting to see the doctor tomorrow. Headed to the Riding centre for a fab beach ride. Turns out the stable girl was with GAP Challenge (slightly diff organization to us) and had been doing TEFL in Sarawak for 6 months, then came up here to...

Sunday. Up mega early to meet the tour group at 7am to head off to Mantanani island. Once in the mini bus, the guide told us we had a pretty good chance of seeing dolphins on the way to the island and while we were snorkeling, we'd see turtles and the Dugong (sea cow), which is why we paid so much to go on this trip.

Long over due stuff. And finally got my Kuching post cards on my website caught up. Georgie went to the docs to get another check up ...

We were craving badly to get online, so decided to head to KK a day early, so we could use the net. Just as we were getting ready to leave, the power zapped on again, so we changed our plans. We were both feeling a bit crappy after our bad week and things haven't really been improving th...

Last night, we attended a formalish diner with all of the children, their teachers and members of the education department. It was held in about 8 suites in a posh hotel in Kelantan- couldn't understand how there were so may people there. There was a main hall for the "important" people to sit in, ie the duchess woman etc. There was entertainment provided on the stage- like cultural dances, Malay songs, Speeches etc. This was projected into each suite via tv scre...
