We liked Sarawak very much...very friendly people,
interesting towns and some beautiful scenery, especially at the World Heritage
listed Mulu Caves.
The vast entrance to the Niah Caves, which are in
fact not far from Miri
Looking back at the entrance.. the huts in the
picture above are slightly left of centre in the picture below. There is a
waterfall from the
roof of the cave on the right.
The exit at the other end of the cave
