KCH Day 8 │ KCH to KUL • Kenyalang Park to City One!

Going Home!

We woke up at half past seven and promptly walked to Kim Coffee Garden to have our white Kolo Mee. We also took away two red and two white Kolo Mee, and together with a round of drinks our breakfast came to RM41.00 (approximately USD10/ EUR9).

We walked back to the homestay and began to pack our belongings away. All this happened off-camera.

We began filming as we bade farewell to Adelyn's Airbnb. After one final sweep of the home to make sure nothing was left behind we deposited the keys in the lockbox.

We sent Adelyn a message informing her that we left packets of keropok and serunding as souvenirs. We then left at ten past ten and arrived at Kuching International Airport (KIA) approximately twenty five minutes later.

Our good buddy Awang Amirul was again indisposed so I drove the rental car into the airport car park where it was securely parked. Due to the ongoing construction in and around the parking area it took some time before we could find parking.

I eventually shared a few photos of the car's location with Awang Amirul and then made our way to the Departure Hall. Here's a link to his Facebook page.

We then weighed our bags, and were relieved that the total weight came in at 37 kgs, within the allocated 40 kgs. We arrived last week with 25 kgs of belongings which means that we added 12 kgs worth of goodies!

We then checked our luggage in and after sorting out items in our carry-on bag we made our way the to Departure Hall. We navigated the Immigration counters and the security checkpoint at ten past eleven before heading to Gate 4. MH2513 was still on schedule to take off at 1:35pm so more than two hours to burn we walked to the Makan Makan food court.

We ordered drinks and a grilled cheese sandwich for a total of RM30.50 (approximately USD7/EUR6). We then settled down and for the next hour or so I worked on our videos while Cat roamed the Departure Hall, eventually getting two Kek Lapis for RM35.00 (approximately USD8/EUR7).

The boarding process began at 1:30pm, we got to our seats fifteen minutes later. We were seated along row 6, and since Brendan had cancelled his seat there was a lady seated in between our window and aisle seat. The lady was kind enough to swap with our aisle seat, and with that sorted we got settled in.

MH2513 pushed back at 1:55pm and took off fifteen minutes later. The flight was largely uneventful and we were soon served our inflight meals. Cat and I both opted for the opted for the Potato with Fish, which in hindsight was not something we cared for.

An hour into our flight MH2513 began its descent and we touched down at 3:30pm. We collected our luggage from Carousel L then headed down to the ERL train station. We caught a train at 4:20pm and arrived at KL Sentral approximately half an hour later.

We then waited a while for Brendan and Puteh to come get us, and we got back home at ten past five in the evening. Door-to-door our journey took about seven hours, which was not bad at all.

Kuching, we miss you already!
