KCH Day 5 │ Morning Drive to BAKO

Kuching Trip — Birthday Detour

It was my birthday, and we had originally planned something special—a visit to the Sarawak Cultural Village (SCV), about an hour’s drive from Kuching. It was often described as the state’s “living museum,” and we were really looking forward to it.

But sometimes, plans simply didn’t work out.

Plans Changed

When we arrived, we were told that SCV was closed for sanitisation. It was disappointing, especially since we had planned the day around it.

Still, we weren’t ready to give up on the idea of exploring.

On the Road to Bako

We decided to take a drive instead and headed toward Bako National Park, hoping to catch a glimpse of some Sarawakian wildlife.

But the weather had other ideas.

It rained the entire way—and it didn’t let up. We considered a river cruise, but with the constant downpour, it didn’t feel safe or enjoyable.

So, once again, we had to change plans.

The Journey Matters

In the end, we turned back.

And yet, it didn’t feel like a wasted trip.

The drive itself—rain, quiet roads, and the changing landscape—gave us time to slow down and just be in the moment. It reminded us of something we strongly believed:

It’s not always about the destination. Sometimes, it’s about the journey.

Back to Kuching

We made our way back to Kuching, still determined to make the most of the day. This time, we had something lighter in mind.

We were going to look for something the city was known for—giant cats. 🐾

Stay tuned—the birthday adventure continues!
