As I had limited time in Brunei I got myself up and forced myself to walk around. It wasn’t actually too bad on flat floors (thankfully Bandar Seri Begawan is mostly flat). I did struggle with stairs though, thanks a lot Mount Kinabalu!. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →

Ferrying about

April 29, 2009 · 4 comments

As I was talking to the luxury travel agency and discussing options, I explained how I wanted to do a lot of hiking and go on sightseeing tours of the outdoor kind. My aim was to have fun, but also do some of the tough stuff, because I want to be fit without doing something boring like going to a gym everyday. Even if it’s not exactly a surprise, waking up at 6am after climbing a mountain is no joke. I managed it and got the ferry to Labuan Island. The trip was a couple of hours long but quite comfortable. I was surprised I didn’t sleep this one through with how tired I was. On the TV they showed a documentary of an 80s German pop group. Before I headed off, I made sure to arrange parking using diamond parking anacortes ferry terminal, which made the whole trip smoother and stress-free.

‘Is this some kind of joke?’ an Australian couple were asking each other in front of me. I knew it wasn’t, Malaysian’s do seem to have odd tastes in music. Fortunately they made up for that by playing Bruce Lees the way of the Dragon afterwards.

After the last adventure of trying to stay above the water, today I tried to go under.
My first attempt at scuba diving started with a boat trip to Manukan island. Ok, the thing to start with was checking the top 10 scuba fins.
