Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei
Today we landed back in Miri after a two day trip to Gunung Mulu National park, and it was worth every mosquito bite. We walked to some fantastic caves with a highly knowledgeable guide called Syria. To get to one of the caves you have to take a boat down river which is utterly thrilling. We watched millions of bats stream out of one of the caves, at dusk. We also watched one unfortunate bat become the victim of a fortunate and hungry bat hawk. There is another walk you can do called the 'can...
Bandar Seri Begawan, Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei bernie-s We got to Brunei at about midnight. Collected our bags and got a taxi.
Just driving through Brunei, we noticed a huge difference from Bangkok.
The driver could speak pretty good English, for one. And also there was nobody about. It was completely dead. I think there may have been one other car on the motorway into the city.
We got to our hotel, and took an immediate dislike to it. It was more expensive and more disgusting than anywhere we had stayed so far. The smell hit you as soon...
Photos: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2 023529&l=c6201&id=218600353 so I ended up having to wait at the airport for ages which was ok. Staying away got a little hard and the place was dead. As I went thru security I was like ooo people!! and started to have a chat to them which I think they took as trying to distract them and they then proceeded to do a "random" full search off my bags ect.. I thought it was funny cuz it was 2am I was the only person going thru security and th...
Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei tomkirkYesterday it rained most of the day and I ended up just walking around a bit and not doing much at all. In the evening I went to my trusty cafe and order this drink with a picture of this spikey fruit. Durian fruit I think. My god was it bad I tryed to drink it but couldn't manage more than 3 sips... The owner here is lovely (de royalle cafe) and hangs around chatting to customers and I told him I didn't like my drink so he told his staff to make me an avocardo milkshake which was nicer than ...

Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei urbutis... the attention.We don't have a picture (and google images can't seem to cough one out right now either), but he was very keen to advise us, even though we were already on our bus, waiting for it to depart. I don't think we gave him the star-struck response he was hoping for either, and he gave up on us after a while and went back to spitting out free advice for any foreigners who might suck it up.<br><br>
Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei danandkate... on the hard wooden benches in the dining area, we entertained ourselves for hours by watching a couple of bats flying around our heads. <br><br>The following morning, after a delicious breakfast of plain white rice and boiled cabbage, we started our trek of the Headhunters’ Trail. The trek involved hiking through the rainforest for nearly 12km along a trail used a hundred years ago by headhunting war parties. Thankfully it wasn’t raining at this ...
Limbang, Sarawak, Malaysia butterfills... And that meant reaching the resort before sun down, which was virtually impossible already. So we quickly dipped into the sea to wash off the mud, put our cloth back on and started to trek back. We had walked a few kilometers to get to that beach, and by the time we were half way back it was pitch-black around us.<br><br>Luckily we remembered to bring our torch (something had told me that we would get ourselves in a situation like that again). However, this ...
Pulau Tiga, Brunei eye_of_beholder... try and counterbalance things! I swap the micro-digital for the macro-digital and update my Facebook. Unfortunately I can't upload any of the photos that I have taken so far as I have accidentally packed the camera cable in other luggage and the computers do not have card readers. After a couple of hours admin I find myself drifting off whilst typing almost leaving QWERTY tattooed across my forehead I give up and attempt to get some sleep on the floor next to the best air-conditioner that ...

Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei france_rejean... Seri Begawan can be fun, let me tell you! Throughout our travels, we've been pleasantly suprised at the quality of budget accomodation. Why go back-packer, when you can get a 3 star hotel for the same price.. is our motto.. might have to shorten that up a bit to make it a bit snappier.. Anyway, Kate has landed a economy single, which is fitted with the following : King size ...
