More than hundred miles

When cross district travelling was allowed this month, we have been planning to go back to hubby's hometown by road. 

Early this week, we drove more than hundred miles from Kuching to Kapit for a short family holiday. Considered this our first trip since MCO.


Road in small village was bumpy. Not a very good drive. Passed by 2 ferries and then we drove along the Pans Borneo highway. 

Some parts were smooth journey but certain parts were hard to maneuver due to work in progress. 

We started our journey around 7am and by 12, we had our lunch in Jakar. 

The big prawns noodle in Jade Restaurant. We opted for smaller prawns which cost RM25 per bowl. Bigger prawns noodle was RM35!! 

The boys had the fried noodle since they don't fancy such flavourful and soupy noodle dish. 

Then we headed to the next row of shop for the famous Jakar sio bee. The corner coffee shop (far right). 

RM1 each, you can choose either warm or frozen type. 20 pieces for us on the road. 

Very very nice. Big and meaty sio bee. 

We continued our drive all the way to the new Kapit road but warning!! 


The road wasn't fully completed so we had to adhere to the road opening schedule. We reached there before 4pm so we waited for its opening for almost 2 hours. 

We encountered rain on and off along the way and as we waited there, we saw a beautiful rainbow. 

They opened the road at 540pm which was 20 minutes earlier than scheduled time. How happy were we to continue our journey again. 

Nice, smooth road in most parts. Another 1 hour drive and as it rained and sky was getting dark, we had to drive slower. 


One of the uncompleted parts (above) while the other was the bridge. Only one side for the cars while another side of bridge was under construction. 


We reached Kapit slightly before 7pm. What a long drive but we were glad we reached our destination safely.

So you used the coastal road instead of the Pain-Borneo! They said the road is a whole lot better but there is the problem with the slow ferries - may take a very very long time. I wish I could drive somewhere...but my girl is adamant - stay home till this Covid thing is over.

What an eventful drive. No toilet stops except for the food? Glad that it was a safe trip.

first time I heard of the road only open at certain hours....Nice to have a road trip once in awhile.

Oh my gosh you had to wait 2 hours before the road opened. I hope other users of the road are aware or else they will be very frustrated to be caught when arriving there at the wrong time.

In SG, during certain Public Holidays, some roads may be closed so we have to take note of the Traffic Police update.
