WILSON

ROYAL MULU RESORT
Impressions

As with any great adventure. first impressions (good or bad) are lasting, and often very memorable. For WILSON and his dear wife Yvonne, their first impressions of Malaysia and the Malaysian people have been excellent. As expected, WILSON was very sure that he would be meeting with a very sincere and gentle people, and He has certainly not been disappointed.

WILSON and his wife arrived at Miri on Wednesday 14th January and were met by the General Manager of the Royal Mulu Resort Alan Robinson, and his dear wife Monica.

            Welcome at Miri Airport

They received a very warm welcome and welcome banners were on display at the
Miri airport arrival lounge. WILSON had commented that, on stepping outside the aircraft, he immediately felt at home and, as
a well seasoned traveller, was truly impressed with the high quality and cleanliness of Miri airport. As can be seen from the photograph WILSON certainly looks at home. First stop was to the Marriott Hotel in Miri.

WILSON and his wife then enjoyed a beautiful early evening meal by the pool with their hosts, and were able to experience a truly magnificent Malaysian sunset.
This was so appreciated by the artist. A wonderful beginning to WILSON's MULU experience.
