A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Kuching, Malaysia by TravelPod blogger Gin_gy titled "Across Sarawak River - Kampungs & Fort Margherita" Gin_gy's travel blog entry: "Day 2 saw us crossing Sarawak River to the Kampungs Boyan and Gersik for Imp's survey on lovely old traditional old houses as well as a climb up to Fort Margherita to enjoy a panorama of Kuching City.. The tambangs were actually much more stable than they looked though I've learnt taking a journey on water with Imp is not entirely safe..

Fortunately, the experience and skill of the boatman and the equal distribution of weight on both sides of the craft gave us a smooth and dry ride across to our destination..

Not only do they serve as a cheap shuttle for locals travelling from the Kampungs to town (only RM0.30 per trip), they give tourists an unpretentious taste of authentic Kuching river transport.. Lovely ain't it? The stroll through the Kampungs wasn't exactly enjoyable thanks to the Bornean heat.. though Imp did manage to seek out some excellent gems such as this well-maintained house of the traditional Malay Kampung typology (I think).. Well, despite my inability to entirely comprehend the need to scout about people's dwellings and take snapshots of their roofs/windows/doors/verandas/etc, I must say ...
