A holiday in Sarawak has been the highlight of my many travels. It is breathtaking beautiful and the people are kind and helpful. I went many many years ago, landed in Kuching in the most terrible storm, i found a small hotel and went about looking for a guide to take me to the jungle. I think it was thé Hôtel Hilton who found me Magdalena, who’s family were Iban. We rented a jeep and set off to the starting point of the Skrang river , from there a canoe was waiting. Off we went , stopping to meet the Penan people, finally arrived at the Iban village I was welcomed with enthusiasm, a young lady alone on her adventure. We slept in the longhouse for 2 nights, on the floor , and they entertained me with a myriad of delicious foods , took me hunting, exploring and bathing in the river. Best experience of my life,
