Kampung Praya

Fishing Activity in progress. This river is reserved for the Tagal activity, Tagal means the fish are fed and no fishing is allowed in this stretch of river. Fshing is prohibited unless it is open by the Kampung like the one in these pictures. But I would like to suggest to the committee to commercialize the area for fishing purposes and that include rafting in future. I am hoping that the move will promote the tourism industry in the kampung
































Driving Guides From Kuching To KK via Brunei Dec 2010 Prt 3

The second day I woke up early and departed from Miri very early. I did this to avoid the long queue at the check points esp. Kuala Lurah and temburong ferry.













Driving in Brunei highway is fun and interesting. The road is very good. Most Bruneian cars go very fast. I just don't care about them. I don want to get caught by the police. But the pictures below are the short cut route to Limbang. First u will see the electricity line and Tanjung Maya in front. Get ready to make a u turn.







Below are the pictures showing the entrance to the Jerudong Park. Ya, I chose to use the long route coz the short cut, limau manis was flooding. It was raining n lowland was affected. Be extra alert of the signs and landmarks in this area coz its confusing. After get thr' Kuala Lurah proceed to Limbang and there u can have your lunch . As for me I prefer Sarimah curry house. The food is very nice and delicious. Price is not a problem when travelling.



































This is the usual scene we have to encounter. It is at the Temburong/Lawas waiting to go on board ferry which is only 40 metres across the river. People from both countries have been cursing the authorities for not doing any actions to solve the long queue on both side of the roads. But I have manage to get thr' this queue by departing very early from my house or hotel.










Below is Mengkalap Immigration checkpoint at Lawas. It is very new and you can visit the wash room here. Down is also the Trusan bridge which completed in the mid of 2010. Before this we had to queue for at least one hour to cross Trusan River by ferry.













At this stage we had reached Sindumin, Sabah. I was grateful that the journey went smoothly without any unwanted incident. In the background was Mr Simson, his wife, his mother and father in law. It was their first time driving all the way from Kuching. So, when asked he said that he would make it an annual routine like me.







Tahniah Simson you have made it' Cuba lagi this year end.
