Sibu City

Alishan arrived at Sibu City ( not Cebu, that is in the Philippines). Position: 2 degree 16.9N 111 degree 49.5E See for info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sibu,_Sarawak The city is very Chinese, so we feel "at home". The daily market is superb with lots of jungle food for sale. Of course we will try them all...except the sago palm beetle larvae Too bad our Coolpix L6 camera died...but .....here we were able to score a L20, so pictures will continue to flow. This point is the turn-around for our Rajang River Cruise as there is a 10 meter bridge around the corner. It looks like we will be here a few more days as a trip by ferry to Kapit is on the program, and there is enough to do, see and shop here. 90% of all transport is done by floats..hence, for engine bits it is a shopping paradise.
