Had a good flight, touching down in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei at around 5.30pm. My connecting flight to KK wasn't for another 4 hours so I took a two hour tour bus of the city where we stopped at the 'Jami Asr Hassanal Bolkiah' Mosque and the 'istana Nurul Iman', the largest palace in the world and the official residence of the Sultan of Brunei - talk about OSTENTATION!!! Our last stop was the night markets where I got to enjoy some local food and finally the shopping mall. Back at the airport for the 1 hour flight to KK which landed just before 11pm and a short cab ride to the Jesselton Hotel. Good job I had some cash on me donated by mum and Linda and leftover from our Malaysian trip in March because nothing was open at the airport and there were no ATMs. Enjoyed a good night's sleep and have found my SIMCARD from March still works and so have been able to get on line relatively easy. I'm off soon for a stroll and to get my bearings. Will head for the jetty and see best way to get to the islands today.
