Photos - Mosque in Brunei, Floating Restaurant we went to in KK for dinner, the cultural show with dancers and Girish and myself with our fresh coconut drinks.
Day 1 - After making extensive plans about my night of return with Clare and Gabrielli in Dubai
(including leaving keys in cars, spare keys in glove boxes etc etc) we drove to the airport and
met with 8 of my fellow challengers. A great variety of people ranging from 26-51 in age and from several different nationalities, inc Indian, German, Emirati/Scottish and Irish. We checked in and boarded our 7 something hour flight to Brunei.
I didn't sleep much on the flight. Possibly 1 hour or so, and arrived in Brunei at about 8am feeling, well, rough!
We were transported to a hotel courtesy of Royal Brunei, where we could freshen up and leave our things during our 8 hour lay over.
I didn't start to feel any better and was light headed and felt sick. Blaming it on tiredness, I ate a
small amount of lunch with the rest of the group before leaving them to do a river cruise of the floating markets while I returned to the hotel for a bit of shut eye.
We left Brunai at around 6pm and got on the 20 minute flight to Kota Kinabalu, in Malaysian Borneo.
After being sick on the plane, I felt much better and managed to really enjoy our dinner, an evening of local food, fresh coconut water and traditional bamboo dancing. We spent the night at a city hotel where we slept as soon as our heads hit the pillow. Excited and anxious about our challenge ahead.
