The Five W's
... automatic doors. It would hide in their hand luggage, under hats and in their shoes! Damn 'The Humidity' and all who worship her! Brunei Terminal is quite small and very, very-very quiet at this time of day so plenty of seats to slouch on, trying to ...
The adventure begins.....
Well the big adventure began. We arrived (surprisingly not too overtired) in Brunei on the 1st January 2012. Seems quite fitting to start our new adventure on the 1st day of the new year. We arrived at the airport and went through ...
The rich cities not looking so nice....
Well its a definite fine line between rich and poor here, with the poor having what looks like nothing, and the rich having huge houses (especially the ambassadors) so I didn't like this one so ...
Brunei for a day
... to her relief, not one was broken and we all ran away as quickly as we could! This proved easy as the traffic in Brunei stops for pedestrians and it felt extremely strange, when four lanes of traffic stopped for us, when we were returning to the car park ...

water village
So I finnally made it to brunei. This is a country that has interested me for years I'm not sure why but it did! I took my ferry over from labuan which was comfy they had fast and the furious playing from the last trip so we got to watch the ending first ...
Land of the Sultan
... it smelt really good. We ended up getting a Biriyani, Chicken curry and a Pad Thai, all of which cost us a grand total of $4 Brunei dollars (about $5 NZD). After another rest we went down for dinner at 8pm in our Hotel. The Hotel too had a Ramadan ...
Ulu Temburong National Park
I took an overnight trip to the Ulu Temburong National Park, which is in the South East part of Brunei. This was an absolutely incredible place. I stayed at the Ulu Ulu Resort (www.uluuluresort.com) in the middle of the rainforest. The trip ...
Feb 2012
... from a huge top gear fan. It was a sign! So the car is a new toy that will hopefully give us many reliable trips around Brunei. The good thing about it is that because it is a station wagon, my son's fold up bike will fit in great and we can ...
Boring Brunei
Well, what an excititng place Brunei was. Although I canät say that we really gave it a chance...To get there we took 3 buses, a boat, than another bus. There really is not alot to do there. We checked in to our hostel, and we had to have separate rooms, ...
Moving to Bandar Seri Begawan
Today we took a flight from Mulu to Miri. We had a lunch in the Chinese quarter, about 1kg of fish each (crabs and tilapia fish), and with the belly full of food I went (splitting from Gabo, who goes to Australia) to catch the bus to Bandar Seri Begawan, ...
My bay view
... just observing this fast water crafts sailing on the horizon back and forth. Seeing one of them running towards me as if it will hit me directly like an arrow was awesome. Brunei is not crowded and vehicles running in its big highways are right hand ...
Kampung Ayer and a Magnificent Mosque
... if I implied that it didn’t possess its own particular appeal. We flagged down a water taxi, blasted across the Sungai Brunei and began strolling the boardwalks. Cathy hadn’t been keen to go at first; from a distance the water village looks ...
River and Benevolent Piranha
... of Cirque de Navacelles, dans les Cevennes. The benevolent pirhana refer to the little fish at the waterfall near Ulu Ulu, Brunei (which Google maps cannot locate) who nibbled at our toes supposedly consuming the dead skin from our feet. In my case, one ...
Royal regalia museuma and empire hotel
Hi We went to have a look at the royal regalia museum today as it was shut yesterday. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to take photos which is probably a good thing as we have about a million photos to look through when we get back. The museum was all ...
Overnight Trip
It was about a 2 1/2 hour boat to Labuan, another town in Sabah, and then another hour to the Ferry Port in ...
The preparations
Well, its still more than a month to go before our flight to New Zealand but my family and I are full of anticipation already. We are really excited since we never been to NZ before, ore so to the southern Hemisphere. First trip is always ...

Brunei stop over
9 hours without a drink was hard going, Royal Brunei airlines is a dry carrier, but hey, you cant have everything. A nice place, very tidy motorways and shops, but nothing to do really. Had a great trip up to the rain forests, and into. Climbed a ...
Brunei and luxury
... (most of the expats over here seem to be oil company or military) where the cocktails and beer was in plentiful supply. Despite Brunei being a 'dry' country the expats can buy booze from the Naafi stores and can drink it in their own houses, so house ...
