A journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Hedley, with his wife and daughter went to the Niah caves in Sarawak They are located on the east of Malaysia. They traveled by many ways and saw a lot of things.

They story started from Bandar Seri Begawan, and they drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed Beleit River by ferry, so they took the lunch in Miri then moved to Niah, a small township. They saw a boy wearing pajamas, and then they hired a small boat and sailed to a government rest house, where they stayed the night. They ate with a group of scientists and shared the drinks with them. It was dark deep in the jungle and they slept without air conditioner.
On the second day morning they walked a half an hour in the jungle until they reached the Niah caves. It was bad, smelly and dark with a lot of birds and bats but inside the cave they saw people climbing the bamboo poles and wearing helmets with a light; then they scraped off birds’ nests from the roof and packed them into sacks. This nest is used as soup for the Chinese.

Finally they said goodbye to their new friends in the rest house and went on the long drive home; it was an adventure, a new experience and an unforgettable time.
