Brunei
En route to New Zealand
15.02.2010 - 17.02.2010
36 °C
After a long flight with a refueling stop at Dubai we touched down in Brunei - a big shock walking out into the stifling heat. Checked into our hotel (10:30 am) in the centre of the city and caught up with some sleep, then browsed around the main shopping area. 'Went to the city museum and took a motor boat for a tour around the water village. The latter was very interesting - 30,000 people living in houses on stilts over the river; they have their own schools, police & fire stations etc. English is widely spoken so no difficulty with communication. After a nap and a shower back at the hotel we had a meal around the corner and took a taxi to the night market - a huge range of foods (cooked & raw) plus vegetables on sale - cooking on site. We bought a freshly cooked pancake... very tasty with nuts, raisens etc.
Now waiting to board our plane for Auckland...... everything smooth so far!
