Kuching Riverside Boat Ride
11
July
Taking the Kuching riverside boat ride is one of the must-do things for tourists visiting the city.
Many took the boat to visit the Fort Margherita opposite the river, now there’s the new Dewan Undangan Negeri (State Parliament Assembly hall) to add to the hot spots.

Mary and I took the boat ride but we didn’t go to the Fort nor the DUN, we’ve stayed on the boat and discovered something else – The life of the boatmen.

Hello Boatmen!

Cruisin’ on the Kuching river.

Overlooking the new DUN and the Kuching City riverside skyline.

Reaching the opposite river bank for dispatch of human cargo.

Curiosity kills the cat.

Muslim prayers. Offering some real sense of security for the boatmen on the river.

The source of life – Water.

The thermo flask to store hot water for his daily meals.

A biscuit tin.

A couple of kerosene lamp to light up the small boat throughout the night.

A brand new motor to power the boat.
Now that’s the kind of life you’ll come to expect if you’re a boatmen on the Kuching river.

How is your life?
