Kuching - After our dinner we thought we could cross the bridge but we were told that the only way across is via the sampan. It cost us RM2 each.
that's us in this small sampan |
These small sampan (now motorised) can carry about 25 passengers each, bring ferry kampung folk living across the Sarawak River to the main bazaar and back. It is a cheap convenient way of transport. Though there is a good road and a bridge built to cross the river, it is still widely used by the kampong folks to come down to the town on the other side of the river bank It is a convenient means of transport that saves time and cost as compare for having to own a car and to drive a long way that may take around 20 minutes. The sampan took us across in less than 5 minutes.
