Virgin trip to Belalong, Temburong

Went to Ulu Temburong today with Reza - Trip to belalong. Temburong district is one of Brunei's 4 districts. It is disconnected from the main land. The easiest way to go there is by boat. You also could drive your car there but you would have to go through our neighbour country Sarawak, Malaysia. Yes, you would need to go through a different country to go to the other side of the country.

We had to stop couple of times to stamp in/out our passports. I beleive we had to do it 8 times. 4 ins and 4 outs. So, in total 8 stamps on your precious passport pages just to get to Temburong. And you have to fill in number of forms.

I have a confession to make. This is my first time to go to the "Ulu" Temburong. Ulu is a malay word that roughly means the very remote end of the country, mostly covered by virgin jungle. I would love to spend the night there. It is very claming. The water is cool. Saw couple of tourists enjoying their time there. Even our boat operator had a dip. Couldn't resist the crystal clear water.

Sorry, not much picture for today. Click Reza's link above and watch the video. I am on it. Hehehe.. which one? Of course the one thats holding the big camera with huge lens.. hahahha

Pictures below are taken while we were waiting for our queue at the border.. thats the boring part of the journey. The rest are superb~

Oh ya, 2007 is Visit Malaysia year :)
