Camel riding agony

Having thought nothing could be worse than the red hot van, I was wrong. A 90 minute camel ride across the desert to our camp for the night. I didn't know my legs could be so sore but eventually we made it and I was lifted off to recover. A great experience to look back on

Brunei




Wonderful flight with Royal Brunei from Melbourne. Dreamliner aircraft very nice. Bahia hotel fine but airport pick up not at airport.  A young Brunei brother and sister gave us a lift from airport. Lovely people. Enough sites for two days and very easy but as Ramadan started no eating outside of hotel until sunset at 6.30pm . At airport we all waited with burger king and kfc until 6.30
