First day in Miri decided to do our usual......just set off and walk, and walk, and walk. Not really that exciting a place. Looked around town, some shopping malls, the fish market and the vegetable maeket........we think we need to go beaching again to swim......so hot. Spent alot of time this morning in a really nice park. No locals there but ...

Decided this morning to fly out of Mulu, although annoyingly at the 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 for at least 2 days. I don't have ...

Please excuse if there is some funny writing in here, I am using a swedish computer and there are some funny letters were some punctuation should be... When we got to the first park we went for a short stroll and then settled in. We didn't do much that day but planned to hike to a beach the next day. At dinner that night, rice or noodles?, we sa...

Our first port of call on the Malysian side of Borneo and with a tight schedule driven by the female of the team, it was little more than a pit-stop as our tires squeeled and we took of towards Brunei, and the childhood memories of the afor mentioned lady. Mind you, i did get several games loaded onto my PSP by a very kind Malay gentleman, so it...

Another day another town, this time Miri ready for the start of our Exodus adventure. Now Miri is really only on the trail because of nearby Mulu National Park, but getting there a day earlier did allow us to sample some great seafood (yes, the pick from the tank kind) and relax ahead of the adventures ahead. It also allowed Eirini to get to kno...

How is it guys ? I would like to apologise to you for the poor state of my blog. I only opened it about 4 months ago, when I was in Costa Rica. It is the first time I spend so much time on a computer. I don't really use to it! Let me introduce myself quickly. I have been travelling for 15 years; I started when I was 16 years old. At that time I ...

Once again an early morning as our plan for today was to explore the Niah Caves and head to Miri still on the same day. Easily done! We hiked first 3 km to arrive at the Niah National Park office, had breakfast and then headed off for the next 3 km hike to arrive to the caves. We walked on a wooden plank trail for 40 minutes to arrive at the cav...

Belaga 15 hours of 'express' boating into Borneo's interior, including (2 James Bond films!) and a night in the small town of Kapit, brought us to the even smaller town of Belaga. Friendly people, but not much else here. Even the Karoke bars were quiet, showing cable TV of the bombings in London instead. We took a day trip up the Rejang river, v...
