So after last nights little adventure, which I’m still getting over I might add, I was relieved to wake up inside the hostel but a little concerned than my hands were still black despite scrubbing them with a scourer before bed.
I’m now heading off to Miri in Sarawak where hopefully their curfew isn’t quite so strict!
First though I’ve gotta get to the bus terminal and meet with Danny, Bruneis local tour guide.
The fee to take this bus journey is BD$18 which I didn’t think was too bad. They take you to the border, make sure you do all the paperwork and clear immigration ok and then take you to the outskirts of Miri from where you just need to take a local bus into town.
We had a huge luxury coach for this trip and there were just 5 of us, I was the only westerner! Arrival into Sarawak was hassle free as was the local bus trip into Miri. I found a place to stay and immediately went and checked out the post office! I’m good to you Mick!
They had more mini sheets than I could count and a lot of other stamps Mick was looking for so after many many text messages backwards and forwards I think I made their day and probably spent more money in there than anyone they’ve ever had through the doors. Even I was amazed that stamps could cost this much.
Miri, although quite a large town, doesn’t really have too much going on in it apart from an Irish bar opposite my hostel, so after a bite to eat I hit the sack, thankful that I wasn’t locked out tonight, and made a plan to get up early and head back to the post office! :-)
It’s good to be back in Malaysia, Brunei was nice and it was interesting but it was very very quiet. Worth a visit though if you’re ever in the area.
