Merry Miri
This is a top pick! ... stated that Miri had seen better days). It boasts one of the best open public spaces I have seen anywhere in Malaysia. The Miri City Fan is a new park development that has several tastefully themed gardens with fountains and a huge square amphitheatre ...
Niah National Park (Sarawak, Borneo) - Day 156
This is a top pick! Killed a three inch long cockroach with two massive blows of my shoe last night. Without being too graphic, legs and bits of the horrible creature where everywhere. This morning when I woke, the cockroach had managed to move two metres across the room. I ...
Racing up the coast
This is a top pick! We finally managed to escape Kapit and headed further east by fast boat, to Belaga, then north by 4WD to Bintulu. Each stop was one more in a succession of smaller and crappier places, perfumed by durian. Durian is the smelliest fruit on the planet. It ...
Crazy Borneo Man
This is a top pick! Deeper in to the heart of Borneo, I landed in the sleepy little village of Belaga. Only when I arrived, the town wasn't so sleepy. I arrived in the middle of the Regatta and Rainforest Challenge weekend. Just about every long house in the area was in ...
Niah Caves
This is a top pick! ... I had to take a bus to Miri and get off at the junction of Batu Niah and the road. Gill and CBM continued up to Miri. I couldn't find a reasonable taxi driver to take me to the park HQ which the Lonely B*stard says is only 3km along the river from the ...
Miri Marriott Resort and Spa
This is a top pick! ... Good! The only problem with staying at the Marriott is that internet access costs more than every other hotel I've paid for in Malaysia. And many of those cheaper rooms included free Wifi internet. C came back from Bario just in time for our last day ...
Mad Dash Through Sarawak
This is a top pick! ... of the car to present our passports! Easiest border crossing ever! Once across onto Malaysian soil again we zipped along the road to Miri where we had intended to stay the night. Instead we decided to skip the visit to Mulu, unfortunately, and just go ...
Leeches and Lechers
This is a top pick! The lecher will actually appear in the next blog, but there are plenty of leeches in the Borneo jungle. We arrived in the Mulu national park and were allocated the vip suite. Well that was electricity from 6 to 9 pm, and if it had rained there was ...

Mulu Moolah
... Sarawak. I'm getting used to these fourteen hour bus trips - they are rather easy on my increasingly plastic-seat-toughened behind. Miri was exceptionally unexciting - a burnt out mining city with little to do. However, while searching for a new camera, I ...
Pain in the proverbial
... airport I was told someone had been trying to find me to organise hiring a guide together for caving - aarrgghh! Got to Miri and checked into the Highlands hostel to find the owner informing me that all flights to Bario (my next plan) were full ...
Halloween in Miri!

Lovely Locals and Merry Miri
... he drove us to the bus terminal where we bussed instead of boated our way to Sibu. We are very much enjoying our time in Malaysia. Everything is so easy because the prices are cheap and the locals are so helpful and kind. Borneo is a very lovely ...
Quick update
We have spent the last few days in Guning Mulu National Park, trekking and caving. Tomorrow we're off to Kota Kinabalu then Kuala Lumpur. We'll be back in Perth on 26th with photos and ...
Ufoja ja norjalainen harpunsoittaja
... tunnin jalkeen keskiyolla ja majoituimme jo etukateen varattuun erittain hyvaan hotelliin (kuntosali+pooli ym.). Miri on kohtuullisen kokoinen kaupunki, joka ainakin muutaman paivan kokemuksella on erittain toimiva kaupunki. Olemme hoitaneet ...
Belaga - a no horse town
Belaga is really out in the middle of nowhere, 8 hours by boat from a road where you can get a bus. I was the first foreigner in town for about a month. I stayed at the Belaga Hotel (decent joint, about $8), whose owner was a really nice Chinese lady ...
Fancy
Like Sibu the swan city and Kuching the cat city, Miri is the seahorse city. I had been sleeping in tiny rooms with dirty walls and flourescent lights and weird bathroom situations for awhile, so I went to the Marriott in Miri. It was about $50 for an ...
Gunung Mulu National Park
We had spent the night in Miri and woke later than expected the following day. We had big plans to climb the mountain Gunung Mulu. Having chosen not to take on Mount Kinabalu we were feeling a bit deflated, everyone around us was raving about ...
KK, Brunei, and maybe Mulu in the future
... have been. Though, we did sneak in a movie or two and some bowling along the way. We finally have gotten to Miri, gateway to Mulu National Park, despite non-running buses, border crossings, and a detour via two Polish people who offered us a ...
A nightmare in Miri!
... walking with 20kg in 32C heat but it was a pretty stroll along the river through the forest. It was the first time in Malaysia that we had seen true poverty, some of the huts on the way were little more than a four bamboo poles with some straw ...
Back in Borneo
... followed by exit from Brunei, entry back into Malaysia, then exit Malaysia and another entry into Brunei and a final entry into Malaysia. I had not appreciated before this trip that there were 2 bits to Brunei. The other passengers got off ...
Proud to be an American!
I was having one of those I-haven't-slept-properly-in-too-long dreams when it happened. "Good morning, indecipherable" "Good morning! indecipherable" It was the giggly voice entering my left ear, this I knew, what I couldnt understand was why. ...
Planning ahead ...... a tough day
... fly home from and whether we would stop off in Europe somewhere. 2..decided that Kota Kinabalu would be our last stop on Borneo Malaysia 3.. on 14th July fly from Kota Kinabalu to KL and stay overnight near hotel 4..on 15th fly to VIENTIANE in LAOS and ...
Miri to Kuching
... companies loading loads of timber onto boats. There were thousands of trees all just lying on the bank waiting to be collected. Malaysia has a real problem with deforestation at the moment and this was the first example that i had seen of it. The trip ...
Onto Belaga
We got up early the next day as a local guy had told us last night that we needed at get a tourist permit to head further upriver to Belaga. Apparently you get this for free from the Kapit Resident Office. There is no road and air access to or from ...
