A long weekend in Brunei

Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei


Not much more to see here, other than a big mosque, a big shopping mall and a lot of money.
The sultan wasn't in.

Into the jungle

Belaga, Malaysia


It's taken several days to get here, and we're well off the beaten track. The local tribes all lice in "Longhouses" which house approximately 400 people each.

One of the families had a baby monkey. They were treating it like a child. I made the mistake of asking how big it would grow. The anwer was "It could grow to be the size of a 5 year old child, but this one won't grow that big". "Why not?" I asked innocently.

"Because we'll have eaten it by then".

I say no more.

On to Borneo

Kuching, Malaysia


A lovely, developed city. We spent St Patrick's Day here. The good news wass there was plenty of Guinness, the bad news was that it wasn't developed enough to have a bar sto show Wales beating England.

Panglao, Bohol

Panglao, Philippines


Did 2 dives on Panglao - we were joined by a sea snake that was about 2 metres long. One of the most posionous animals in the sea, but luckily its jaws are only big enough to bite you between your toes. I'm very thankful for my flippers.

Nuts Huts

Tagbilaran, Philippines


5 nights in Nuts Huts - not much to do here other than lounge in a hammock, read, eat, play Trivial pursuit, spot monkeys, swim in the river and trek through the jungle...
We only moved on because our visas were running out.
