| Overlooking Sibu |
In July we left sv Hamamas safely tucked up in the Miri Marina while we took a 4 day trip inland to Sibu which is the main port city on the Rejang River. It is a very busy port with all types of sea going vessels arriving with raw materials from inland Sarawak including, logs, gravel, minerals and agricultural products ready for export.

Our friends from sv Remora accompanied us on the trip which began with a 6 hour bus ride from Miri to Sibu! While in Sibu we enjoyed the local points of interest and the markets.
We were amused by the "Swan" as the emblem (mascot ) of Sibu. I suppose if Miri , a coastal city, can have the "Seahorse" then why not have a "Swan" for a riverside town!

One of the most spectacular sights was the Chinese Temple with it's amazing spire and view over the city.
