Kuching waterfront walk

 Kuching - Edmund and I head out via Grab to Kuching waterfront for a walk along Kuching river.  The Kuching Waterfront is steeped in captivating history, with its roots dating back to the early days of Sarawak's trading past. As you stroll along the promenade, you'll encounter well-preserved colonial buildings, reflecting the city's architectural heritage.

Darul Hana Bridge

Instead of walking across the bridge, we decided the run across the bridge and back.  By the time, we return back it started to rain and we had to find cover before it pours.
