First Impressions!

Arrived on Friday after a relatively easy journey from Schiphol. Thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and sunshine after departing a grey and cold Netherlands. It has been a steady 30 since I arrived with lows of 25 overnight!

Howard has been really eager to show me the sights so on Saturday we explored Miri City - shops, supermarkets and cafes. All very different but familiar too – all this exciting Chinese goods but familiar food as well of course – even Marmite, Claire! The street filled with Chinese pots is only a small indication of what is available.

I think I might find driving a challenge though. Although our Prado is easy to drive there are some interesting manoeuvres by other drivers you have to look out for!

The hunt was on for bedding for our house as we are due to move in today (Sunday). The furniture is minimal but we should manage until our own stuff arrives – hopefully in February.

This is being hastily created on our last morning in the Marriot as we leave for our new house today. Internet won’t be available for a day or two (finger crossed). Howard has been here a month but we mustn’t feel too sorry for him…..

This is the hotel...

And this is where we played tennis last night...
