Arriving in the delightful Mukah

Chris looking deep in thought

This morning we checked out, which I was delighted about and took a taxi to the bus stand to go to Mukah which one of the locals was very excited about us going and said that it ‘has beaches like Hawaii’ and although we doubted that he had ever been to Hawaii we appreciated the gesture! So we were pretty excited especially as it didn’t seem like an area tourists generally visit. The bus journey was a little bumpy but we managed to book front seats having 2 to ourselves so it was a comfortable ride. After 7 hours we arrived and got dropped off in the outskirts of town but without a taxi insight, map and anybody who spoke decent English we were unsure of which direction to head in so finding accommodation was a challenge.

After about 40 minutes walk though we came across a little gem that was really cheap, free Wi-Fi and in a good location close to the river, although we had yet to find the beach?!
