 Jame' Asr Hassanil
Bolkiah Mosque by sim1
One last look at the mosque, the sun is starting to go down, the day is getting to an end. The light reflected beautiful on the golden domes. A day that seemed to be starting as a bad day with a long stop-over and no flight tickets has turned into a wonderful moment. How quickly life can change. How happy you can be with just the tiny things in life, just a moment, a look, an emotion. For me this tiny moment has turned into a wonderful memory :-) Leave a Comment

 The Royal Chariot at the Royal
Regalia Building by sim1
The Royal Regalia Building, is one of the museums in Brunei. It is located in the heart of Bandar Seri Begawan and it was built in 1992 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Sultans accession to the throne. Not only the inside is worth seeing, also the outside is worth while taking a look at with is gold pattered dome.
Inside the Royal Regalia you can see a collection of priceless Royal items and jewels. The main feature when you enter the building is seeing the amazing and huge Royal Chariot (see picture). Further inside the museum you can see a replica of the throne, gold and silver ceremonial armoury and the traditional jewel-encrusted coronation crowns.
Opening hours:
Saturday to Thursday: 8:30am - 5pm
Friday: 9am - 11:30am and 2:30pm - 5pm Leave a Comment

Recreational Park is the official name for this swamp area fitted with wooden walkways ; these ways are in variable condition (one is not usable) ; it is a swamp, with its particular smell, particular flora, and fauna; the fauna is essentially fishes (there were fishermen when I visited, not sure fishing is allowed…….). Shelters on the swamp allow to have a picnic or a rest in the shade, enjoying a light breeze and the view over the black waters. Directions: Location: Road to Labi; directions: Bandar-Seria road, km 66, turn left on Jalan Labi (Labi road), signs on the roadside, about 15 km after the road junction.

 Arriving in Brunei by sim1
10 o'clock in the morning and I am on the flight from Bangkok to Brunei. Nothing indicating that I will really 'visit' this little Sultanate. I was expecting to only have a quick stop-over in Brunei on my way to Sabah (Malaysia). But how quickly a day can change and instead of being on the next flight out, I was walking around in Brunei instead. How? And why? Well, that's long story :-)))) But I'll try to tell you about it in short..... Leave a Comment

 Confusion at the transfer
desk by sim1
After a lot of confusion, making phone calls and the kind help of the man at the transfer desk, we finally found out how to get the flight tickets. Phew, what a relief! There was one bad thing though, we had a 6 hour stop-over in Brunei. Ouch, what a long time! I thought we were supposed to have a quick stop here and than be off to Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia). But unfortunately this wasn't the case; we had to wait until early evening before we could leave the Sultanate.
But rescue was at hand! We found the ones that should have given us the tickets, Danny and Danny, our guide and our chauffeur for the day. They were patiently waiting outside the airport upon our arrival with the tickets in their hands. I was really happy to see them, and they had some good news! Instead of waiting in the o-so-boring airport, we got a complimentary tour of Brunei! An unsuspected surprise! Not a bad ending at all to this little inconvenience during our trip :-))) Leave a Comment

 No ticket, no travel...... by sim1
Upon arrival in Brunei we went straight to the transfer desk, as we were told to do by our travel agent. Here we would receive our tickets for our final part of the journey from Brunei to Kota Kinabalu (Malaysia). But noooo, that didn't happen!
"No tickets, not travel" said the man behind the transfer desk.... eeeeeks, is he serious???! Well, it looked like that! He didn't know anything about tickets, so we had a BIG problem..... Leave a Comment

And, what is better than a smile for keeping you in mood for the rest of the day? Address: waterside downtownDirections: Waterside downtown

I knew it would not be Niagara or Victoria falls, but . . . . . it was a bit a deception as I was going to look at waterfalls; the track to get there in the forest is nice and the small river has it’s charm. There, you can have a dive (own risk, signs tell it) in the cool clean water. The area is not crowded. . . .
Location: Road to Teraja, after crossing the one way bridge after Labi, 7 km a sign is on the left side of the road; Directions: Directions: Bandar-Seria road, km 66, turn left on Jalan Labi (Labi road), signs on the roadside, about 55 km after the road junction.
