Borneo Tour

Part 2

Labuan

After few days in Kota Kinabalu city, we return to Labuan island by ferry.....and of course some of us scared get into ferry anymore cause the journey is bored and frustrated due to the rough sea condition.....and as usual....not feeling good bout that.....this time we guaranteed have a place to stay cause Peter's friend already booked in advance.....local people said that we can travel around the island just in 2hrs by land transportations......I myself initially do not believe that....."Is that true?" keeps on playing in my mind.....until our friend's boyfriend took us to travel one round of the island by car at night.....and after that 'Yeah, it is true." .......so the next morning we visited some of interest places by using Clement's aunt's car who live in Labuan......managed to go to Bird Park where a large variety of tropical birds exhibited.....that's one thing very interesting bout this park......all the birds live together in few very huge cages where we have to go inside as well to watch the birds which means that we had direct contacts with the birds.......fewer parks in the world have this kind of attraction for tourists......it's pretty cool.....Recreational Park....with old trees and some spectacular landscaping......however very poor in the maintenance such that no repairing and cleaning has done.....we also found a house tree in the park(pic on the right).......World War II Memorial......Malaysia's largest war grave......Peace Park......built as memorial and renunciation of the horrors of war.......Labuan Marine Museum.......exhibits a variety of marine life and sections on fishing and scuba diving.......Chimnney(pic on the left).....most well-known landmark in the island but the actual prupose of the chimney is still a mystery.......besides that, took a shourt tour in town.....visited a chinese temple......passed by some of the beaches, Surrender Point, Labuan Square, Financial Park and etc......as I mentioned just now......this island is small and thus we travelled the island just for overnight.......

Brunei Darussalam

So now we return to Brunei where we stayed for another day.......once we arrived......checked in into same hotel that we stayed before, Traders Inn......evening is approaching.....decided to check out Jerutong Park.......once a popular and attractive themepark with free entries and offered lots of games facilities......now becomes quiet and poor maintenance themepark with no more free entries and less games facilities since they changed the management there......however we managed to play some and had fun till midnight.....went for few rides in somekind of water-ride where definitely get wet in the themepark.....frankly speaking, really dissappointed with that.....nothing much to do here......before we leave the city, we went shopping for a while.....and headed back to north Sarawak, Miri city.......
