KCH Day 6 │ Going Home!

Kuching Day 6!

It was our final day in Kuching. We were flying home on Malaysia Airlines MH2545 at 6:00pm. We woke up and headed out to a laundromat to wash our bedsheets and covers, since the Airbnb would be the “control centre” for Brendan’s debate team over the weekend. He would fly back to Kuala Lumpur on Monday after his tournament.

We drove around for a bit before settling on myDobi at Queen’s Court. Once the laundry was in, we tried to get breakfast at Little Skill, but it was full. After wandering around and finding nothing else, we returned to Little Skill when a table opened up.

We both ordered Mee Pok Kolo Mee, and with drinks, our final Sarawakian breakfast came to RM43.95 (≈ USD10/EUR9).

Packing Up

We returned to the Airbnb, where the debate tournament was in full swing. We retreated to our room, organised our luggage, and took a shower.

We said goodbye to Brendan and drove to Kuching Airport, where Awang Amirul was waiting to collect the rental car. We were worried about our luggage weight — especially Brendan’s big red bag — and true enough, we exceeded the limit by 8 kg. We had to pay RM301.00 (≈ USD68/EUR64) for the excess.

With three hours to spare, we settled at Starbucks for drinks. Later, we entered the departure hall, cleared Immigration, and waited patiently at Gate 4.

Leaving Kuching

Time really did fly. We had an action packed five days in Kuching, and we were sad to leave — though comforted by the fact that we would return next year for Brendan’s convocation. To mark the trip, we put together a short montage of our favourite moments.

We boarded MH2545 at 5:15pm, and after a slight delay, took off an hour later. The flight was smooth, with only a small delay in landing due to traffic congestion at KLIA.

We touched down at 8:00pm. After taxiing, we were directed to Carousel K, quite a distance away. We were glad to see the shops along the long walkway alive again, unlike last year when everything was closed.

We collected our very heavy bags and debated whether to take the ERL or a Grab. In the end, we chose the comfort of a six seater Grab.

We reached home at 10:30pm and began the long task of unpacking the two mammoth bags — already dreaming of our next trip to Kuching.

Signing Off

With that, we end this series of Kuching vlogs.

Stay tuned as we explore Kuala Lumpur in the coming weekends and show you the full glory of its public transportation!
