Sipadan. Sipadan. Sipadan. That is all you hear in these parts. "You must go to Sipadan."(in a European accent) So we went to Sipadan. The famous dive spot with barricuda schools, sharks, beautiful coral, giant sea turtles and too much more to mention. The resorts on this island got kicked off and it's now a national park. We stayed at a neighb...

Aujourd'hui direction l'ile de Sibuan ! Dans le genre 'Ile paradisiaque', je crois n'avoir pas encore vu mieux. Je suis sure que vous avez encore en memoire un des reportages de Nicolas Hulot pour Ushuaia... Laissez-moi vous planter le decor : vue d'un helicoptere, une ile solitaire se detache du bleu marin, et l'on peut uniquement apercevoir sa...

We finally arrived at senporma a sleepy little fishing village to be met by a man who said "are you looking for scuba junkie?" Of course we were and he pointed us down the road to the dive shop and attached accomodation. Amazingly we got a room with telly and aircon again - truely spoilt but we didnt care about the on land part. We have just spe...

Ca fait tres longtemps que je n'ai pas ecrit et le mot est faible. Je reprends mon blog ici et aujourd'hui alors qu'une nouvelle etape de mon voyage commence, en supposant que je comblerai les trous plus tard... comme pour le Laos ! Vous vous souvenez du Laos ? Non ? C'est normal, j'ai rien ecrit dessus non plus... :D J'ai deux excuses pour la f...

We got out of the taxi at the Scuba Diving center at about 8p.m. to ask about diving and accommodation (even though we had a place for the first 2 nights). Scuba-Junkies has it's own hostel too, and we would have preferred to stay there, knowing that it's clean and well run. We'd a quick chat with a girl at scuba junkies that went pretty much "N...

After our last breakfast at Uncle Tans we hopped on the boat for the last time and headed off to Semporna. We got a minibus with Leigh & Matt (from South Africa and Zimbabwe) and Matej & Yvana (from the Czech Republic) as they were headed the same way. After a few hours drive we arrived hot, sweaty and in desperate need of a shower. We didn't kn...

So, Borneo. But: what is Borneo? Borneo is the third largest island in the world and is located at the centre of Maritime Southeast Asia. Administratively, this island is divided between Indonesia, Malaysia and Brunei. Indonesia's region of Borneo is called "Kalimantan", while Malaysia's region of Borneo is called East Malaysia or Malaysian Born...

We are having our most disgusting breakfast ever at 09h30. Two pieces of toast, a raw egg, butter and green stuff, neither of us volunteers to try. No wireless. Dr T asks the waitress about it. While I think: 'she does not even know what wireless is', she replies: 'I'll have a look, it might not been turned op yet'. And she even tells us 10 minu...

En kort historie - Men flere billeder.. Vi har brugt de sidste bare dage på en ø der hedder Mabul. Vi har dykket tre dyk om dagen, i henholdsvis Mabul og Sipadan.. Billederne taler for sig selv.. Værsgo..

WARNING - VERY LONG BLOG ENTRY If there is one country that I have visited and enjoyed so far that was worth spending my Porsche fund on then I have to say it's Malaysia. Everything, absolutely everything about this place in terms of what it offers is superb! I'm fit and well and loving my photography and life in general. What have I been up to?...
