Brunei

We had a pleasant time here...the taxi driver we had from the airport came and icked us up the next morning and drove us around to the tourist places of interest,

this place contains many artifacts from the Sultan and gifts he has been given, also his gold carriage for his 25th anniversary,

front  gate of the original mosque in Brunei,

local building,

looking over to the water village...

not sure what this was for....

Looking over to the water village again...

gates to the Sultans palace...

second mosque built in Brunei....

amazing roof on this building...there was a worker up on a rickity ladder cleaning it down...

on our way to the airport the driver helped me find a geocache...I think he thought I was a mad woman, but he was a very helpful man,

He even took photos for me....we found the people here very friendly and respectful and gentle....they seemed calm and happy to do what ever they could for you.  I was happy to find my 100th cache here!!

We have arrived....

We had a good flight from Melbourne, the cabin crew were really nice on the Royal Brunei flight, we arrived to 31 deg C a bit warmer than we left in Melbourne!!

the smog is really bad here..the Indonesians are burning off the forest again......no blue sky here today....

view from the hotel window

again from the hotel.....off to find dinner now.
