Day 65 - Basaga Kuching - Productivity was the order of the day

I awoke early as Rebecca left for her plane, finally some alone time with a room to myself. I returned to sleep but soon woke up again and headed to breakfast. It's much cooler here which I have no complaints about they guys were right when they said it was compared to Ketapang but you don't realise until your back. After two coffees and some scrambled egg and beans I was ready to start my day and I had a list. First and formost repack. 

My backpack has become a jumble over the past few days of travel. I also left a bag at Basaga of clothes unsuitable for Ketapang along with extra mosquito sprays and shower gels. It was now time to make it all squeeze back in my bag in an orderly easily findable manner. For those that know me it was a relaxing experience. Once finished I headed outside to sit by the pool and catch up on my neglected blog.

The coffee had done wonders to bring my brain to life and soon I was emersed in it, typing away before heading to the in house computer to upload the photos. The internet is quick here so within the hour I had completed the task. I even got a chance to look through my photos deleting ones that didn't look great blown up on a screen, giving me valuable space for the next leg of the journey.

After an immensely productive morning my tummy was grumbling but having been upset for a few days I stuck to salad which was a mountain and delicious. After downloading a few additional books it's was time for me and Kristi to head to Matang. Leo had kindly offered to let me stay at the facilitators house tonight with a view to work as requested by me tomorrow. 

The house is similar to Matang, tiled floors and a beautiful view of the mountains about a 10 minute walk from the centre. I settle into the guest room, popped some washing in the machine and then Kristi and I popped a DVD on. Twenty minutes in though it started to play up so we switched to another one. It took about three hours to get through as I dyed Kristis hair I the process. Never would have put a girls night in and Kristi in the same sentence but it was really nice. 

After the film we joined Dom outside enjoying the evening breeze. Eventually I decided to cook them dinner as it was getting late. We chatted a lot about the Orangs and Dom said we could join him tomorrow to go and work with them. Awesome!
