Gunung Mulu and the perfect country
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, …
What a royal to do
The island of Borneo is made up of three countries - Malaysia (states of Sabah and Sarawak), Indonesia (Kalimantan) and Brunei. Brunei sits between Sabah and Sarawak and to pass between the two, you can either fly (done quite a lot of that recently), or travel overland, through Brunei - so that's what I'm going to attempt to do!
