From Miri, we endured a boring eight hour bus journey to Sibu, where we checked into the nearest hotel, which was, surprisingly very cheap. Flopping straight into the huge bed, and to sleep, we awoke the next day to climb aboard yet the millionth boat to continue our journey onto Sarawak's capital, Kuching.The boat ride took a little longer than anticipated, as the sea was treacherous, and at times, I'm sure we were going to capsize, but it made it all the more m...

Flying from Kota Kinabalu into Gunung Mulu National Park, which Lonely Planet describes as "the single most impressive destination in all of Borneo", is the easiest way to access the park. On board what could be described as a toy plane, we made a five minute stop at Miri to go through customs and a health check before embarking upon the final half hour flight.

I've always wanted to do this, but it didn't feel quite as good, as I imagine it would to do at home, particularly as we had to wait in line for almostan hour, which kind of took he edge off things.Nevertheless, a few hour later, and we had touched down n Langkawi, and ventured in search of a hotel. I am beginning o l...
