A 11 1/2 bus journey to Kuching

We left Mukah first thing this morning and got on a 7:30am bus to Kuching in preparation for our flight to Indonesia in a few days time. It sure was a long journey with us arriving at 7pm but at least it got all the travelling out of the way. When we arrived at the bus station there were only...

Finally finding the beaches like Hawaii???

Today we woke up determined to find the beach. So, we asked the manager where we were staying for directions, and decided to just walk until we found it and he also said that we would love it and it is one of the nicest beaches. We packed light, as we knew it would be quite a walk and planned...

Arriving in the delightful Mukah

This morning we checked out, which I was delighted about and took a taxi to the bus stand to go to Mukah which one of the locals was very excited about us going and said that it ‘has beaches like Hawaii’ and although we doubted that he had ever been to Hawaii we appreciated the gesture! So...

A 'trip' to Niah Caves

Well the scary lady that we stayed with only got more scary and irritating today but I cannot be bothered to list all the reasons to why today as it would take too long and make for a huge blog entry, but I’m sure I’ll include some of the highlights. We woke up prepared to go on our...

Scary lady!..

Today we left Brunei after our short visit and got onto a bus at 7am to go back into Malaysia this time visiting Sarawak. The journey was ok taking only 4 hours and that included crossing the border. Once there we waited ages for a local bus to take us into Miri city centre as many locals told...

2 ferrys and a bus to Brunei

We woke up far too early this morning to ensure we got first dibs in the showers and toilets as there’s only 2 per floor so we wouldn’t have to queue. We then skipped a vile breakfast before taking a taxi to the Ferry terminal and taking the Ferry to Labuan where we had to wait a couple of...

Bye Justine!!

Today was Justine’s last day and the kind lady (I’ve forgotten her name) made up Nasi Goreng Kampong (fried rice with salted fish) for breakfast before we drove Justine to the airport and dropped the hire car back off. It was sad to see her go as well, but we made plans to spend Christmas...

Staying with a lovely Muslim family

We woke up early this morning and had a curry breakfast before heading to Tuaran to stay with a Muslim family Justine has stayed with before. Of course, along the way we got lost once again but arrived not long after 2pm. Although it was a guestHouse, it felt a lot more like staying...

Finding plenty of untouched places

We found an awesome roti restaurant again this morning, but didn’t really get anything we ordered but it still tasted good! Once again, as we were in a really small local town not even mentioned in the Lonely Planet so virtually non-existent in the eyes of a tourist, we got a load...

Satu Kopi Susu!!

This morning we woke up, found a cute local roti restaurant sitting with locals who spoke not a word of English so we got the chance to practice speaking the local language (Satu Kopi Susu= 1 coffee with milk) as well as just pointing and luckily, we got what we wanted! The locals...
