My Brunei adventure
... br> I decided to finish sorting a few bits and then had a nap to pass the time setting my alarm for 15:00 so I could head back to the water and get myself a boat trip around the water village and out to see the monkeys. At the waters edge I was yet again hounded by people offering to,take me here there and everywhere at very high prices. One guy I had managed to get down to $30 from his original $50 but then dropped the monkey part of the trip along with the price. It was ...
First of two stops home

Nun sollte es hinein in den Dschungel auf Affenjagt gehen (fotografieren). Durch einen dicht bewachsenen Seitenarm des Flusses bewegten wir uns ...
Kampong Ayer (The Floating Village)
... to where you could actually see into the homes from the windows. At one point, we were quite close to a home with some children swimming right outside.
