Borneo Explore Part 1 (XPDC Sabah 28-30 Dis 09)

Somewhere on Jun 2008 aku ditukarkan ke Labuan. Peluang ini tidak akan aku sia-siakan. Misi aku akan kujelajahi setiap inci bumi Borneo sebab aku tau.. Bukan selamanya aku akan ditugaskan di sini...

Dengar kawan2 yg pernah bertugas di Labuan adalah sgt memboringkan. Bagi aku tak de la boring sgt.. Kalu pandai create aktiviti kompom interesting punya. Frankly speaking mmg aku jatuh cinta ngan life di Borneo.

28 - 30 Dis 2009 team cyclist Labuan plan XPDC Jelajah Sabah. Kayuh basikal dari Kota Kinabalu-Beaufort-Menumbok (jarak lebih kurang 250km). Yes..! Peluang terbaik ni..

Trip To Brunei Darussalam

First time jejak kaki ke Brunei somewhere on May 2011.. Sampai2 kat Jeti Serasa memang ramah la sangat. Tapi yang bikin Aku konpius bila dia tanya Aku: "Kenapa datang Brunei? Teda apa yang menarik di sini.." Huh.. Tapi takkan Aku nak patah balik kot.. Dah alang2 sampai tu teruskan je la perjalanan..



Atas: Sebelum berlepas di Jeti Pulau Labuan
Bawah: Ketika tiba di Brunei (Jeti Serasa)



TEMPAT-TEMPAT MENARIK DI BRUNEI DARUSSALAM


Jerudong Park

Dengan variasi aktiviti dan lokasi menarik, tahap keselamatan yang tinggi, serta layanan mesra warga Brunei, percutian ke Brunei adalah satu lawatan yang boleh dinikmati oleh seisi keluarga. Taman Jerudong antara lokasi yang sesuai untuk kanak-kanak mahupun golongan dewasa.





Istana Nurul Iman

Istana Nurul Iman merupakan istana Kebawah Duli bersama kerabat diraja bersemayam yang terbesar di dunia. Terletak di atas bukit yang memperlihatkan permandangan ibu kota, istana ini juga menunjukkan pemerintahan beraja kerajaan Brunei.




Tamu Kianggeh




Kampung Ayer

Kampong Ayer terletak di ibu kota Bandar Seri Begawan di atas kawasan perairan Brunei. Kampung Ayer ini terdiri daripada perkampungan kecil yang di hubungkan bersama oleh 29,140 meter kaki jambatan, termasuk lebih dari 4200 struktur rumah, masjid, restoran, kedai, sekolah dan klinik.​




Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddin



Masjid Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien merupakan salah satu masjid yang paling hebat di Asia Pasifik dan mempunyai pemandangan yang menakjubkan. Dinamakan bersempena dengan nama Sultan yang ke-28, masjid, yang dipandang sebagai simbol agama Islam di Brunei, mendominasi pemandangan di ibu kota, Bandar Seri Begawan. Kubah emas masjid berdiri di 52m (171ft) tinggi dan dapat dilihat dari hampir mana-mana di bandar itu. Bangunan ini siap dibina pada tahun 1958 dan merupakan salah satu contoh yang sangat menarik dalam senibina Islam, dengan mosaik kaca patri megah, serta banyak lengkungan, kubah dan tiang-tiang. Batu Marmar dari Itali, granit dari Shanghai dan chandelier dari Inggeris seluruhnya digunakan dalam pembinaan bangunan Brunei yang cantik berhias.




Muzium Alat-alat Kebesaran Di Raja

Muzium Alat-Alat Kebesaran di Raja, di mana pelawat-pelawat boleh melihat alat kebesaran diraja, termasuk mahkota dan kereta kuda diraja, bersama dengan satu koleksi luas khazanah mewah.​






Lain-lain




Duk harap bergambar depan hotel yang paling gah ni je la (The Brunei Hotel). Tapi yang sebenarnya duk menginap kat K.H. Soon Service & Resthouse (boleh rujuk kat website: http://khsoon-resthouse.tripod.com/). Mana maunya backpackers tido kat hotel mewah2...! Hahahaha...




Oleh kerana selain daripada melancong suka koleksi matawang asing so ini je la ole2 yang termampu dibeli. Lain2 barang..? Oh, tidak... Tersangat la mahal huhuhu... Jadi la sebagai kenangan.


  ________________________________________________________________________

Nota:

Secara peribadi, Aku rasa tak banyak sangat tempat menarik untuk dilawati disana.. Tambahan pula semuanya mahal.. So bajet gila-gila sepanjang berada di Brunei..

AFRICAN EXPLORE (Uganda & Kenya)

(Angah Manja was visited Uganda & Kenya on 29 December 2005 until 03 Janruary 2006. All information given below are correct at that time)

GENERAL

Map of Uganda

UGANDA and KENYA is an English speaking country. The capital city of UGANDA is KAMPALA and NAIROBI for KENYA. UGANDA and KENYA offers exciting opportunities in tourism mainly in the fields of water sports, wild life, scenic beauty and discovering Africa. Incidentally the tourism brochures of UGANDAN and KENYAN Government advertise UGANDA as ‘The Pearl of AFRICA’ and KENYA as the ‘The Safari Country!’ Since we mainly explored ENTEBBE, KAMPALA and JINJA (UGANDA) and NAIROBI this brief is devoted to our experiences in the above places.

GETTING THERE

UGANDA

The airport is served by several African and international airlines. As of 2005 there were daily flight from Dubai on Emirates and several flights weekly by British Airways, Brussels Airlines, and KLM. Kenya Airlines flies in more than once a day from Nairobi and there are daily flights on Egyptair from Cairo, Ethiopian from Addis Ababa and South African Airways from Johannesburg. Ugandan Airlines flies from several African destinations.
$1 = Ush1700, try to change at the ENTEBBE Airport is better. Transportation in ENTEBBE Town is Ush1000. To go to KAMPALA (around 20Km) is better to take the minibus taxi (Matatu) than the taxi because the minibus taxi (Matatu) is Ush2000 but the taxi is Ush40000 ($20-$25). The security in UGANDA is OK.

Staying in ANDERITA BEACH HOTEL costs $30 per night including breakfast (0630H-1000H). If on a weekend you can patronize 4 Turkeys Night Club (ENTEBBE Town). ANDERITA BEACH HOTEL; Nambi Road, ENTEBBE (Tel: 041-322435 / 031-271912 Mob: 077-665616 / 077-445667). Name of the Administrator: Maggie. Driver of ANDERITA BEACH HOTEL: Saler (071374955).


  
To go to JINJA (around 80Km) from KAMPALA is better to take the minibus taxi (Matatu) than the taxi because the minibus taxi (Matatu) is Ush2500. On reaching JINJA head for the ‘Nile High Camp’, it is preferable that you book accommodation in advance at adrift@surfthesource.com. I would advise a dormitory ($5), which is very comfortable, and you can get some real good company. Transfers to Nile High Camp are FREE from KAMPALA. Call Adrift Office (Mr. Dennis) on 041 252 720 or 077 237438 to make reservation.




KENYA

Map of Kenya

There are two buses company; Scandinavian Express Service Ltd: (Tel: 041 348895). There are 2 levels of service the 'Royal' and 'Executive'. Fares Ush50,000/Ush60,000 ($25-$35). Both services are very best, safe, reliable and comfortable service (Free service on board: Drinking water, Sweets, Soft drinks, Biscuits, Paper bags, Serviettes and First Aid Kit) than Akamba bus. Akamba Bus Company: (Tel: 041 250412) run several daily services from KAMPALA to NAIROBI. There are 2 levels of service the 'Royal Akamba' and 'Akamba Executive'. Fares Ush25,000/Ush36,000 ($15-$25). Both services are very reliable and considered safe (actually not comfortable-very bad!). Buses depart KAMPALA at 0700H and a second Executive services leaves at 1500H. Try to take at 0700H is better. The travel time to NAIROBI is 12 to 14 hours.


The two border posts used by most visitors traveling by bus from KAMPALA to NAIROBI are MALABA and BUSIA. (Please bring your Vaccination Book together because in BUSIA City Immigration, they will ask. WO II Yusaini almost pays $50 for that mistake). Try to change $50 at the border (BUSIA City) and after in NAIROBI at the Money Changer. DO NOT CHANGE ON THE ROAD. In NAIROBI the security is NOT VERY GOOD. $1 = Ksh72.

We just spent 11 hours in NAIROBI. Just turn around the NAIROBI Town, US Embassy Bombing Memorial Park, Giraffe Center, NAIROBI Safari Walk, NAIROBI National Park, NAIROBI Museum, NAIROBI Handcraft (Souvenir Shop), 3 Wheel Restaurants.

ACTIVITIES AT UGANDA

Rafting (JINJA)

A really “out of the world experience”. Although there are a number of companies organizing the stuff we found “ADRIFT The Adventure” quite good. They take you over 31 Km of rapids (many class 5) and it is a unique experience. River Nile offers the best commercial rafting site in the world. You have the option of a full day or a half day package (cost is different). Office of ADRIFT The Adventure is opposite UGANDA Museum. They charge $95 for Full Day Raft. For more adventure you can asked Master Raft ‘Jofrey’ (the Blackman that I think he is UGANDAN. Tel: +25678132774). They also offer to sell you the DVD and VCD photos of this experience, which I found was a good buy at $75. If you are more than one, then you need to buy just one DVD and VCD photos and you can make copies later. There is one Nile High Camp Staff name Richard that you can ask anything from him if you need help (Tel: +25677362414).




Bungee Jump (JINJA)

For the strong hearted there is bungee at Nile High Camp. At 44m it is a mind-boggling experience. If you are afraid of heights and like to play safe it is not for you. They charge $55 per jump and $65 for second jump. I think that people who feel that they shall decide (to jump or not) on reaching there, invariably don’t jump. Those who are determined only jump. Anyway feeling afraid is only natural. Try the ‘Nile High Combo’ package where you can bungee jump and raft in the same day.




  
UGANDA Wildlife Education Center (ENTEBBE)

The cost entry is Ush10000 (for non-resident) per head. It was an enjoyable ride-donkey (Ush1000). You mainly see the lion, two horned rhinos, water bucks, crocodile, etc. There is a good view also from UWEC ENTEBBE that is Lake Victoria!




 ACTIVITIES AT KENYA

US Embassy Bombing Memorial Park (NAIROBI)



The cost entry Ksh20 only. Location in NAIROBI City Center.





 The Town   

A town of 100,000 depends on tourism for its revenue. It has good restaurants (we patronized 3 Wheel Restaurant, it was good). People are friendly and are quite safe.




NAIROBI Giraffe Center

The different cost entry for resident and non-resident, but we got resident cost because of we went there with my friend (KENYAN) who works with MERLIN NGO in KINDU (Miss Elizabeth). The cost entry for resident is Ksh100 and for non-resident almost triple of that.




NAIROBI Safari Walk

Also we got resident cost for entry the NAIROBI Safari Walk (Ksh100) where we saw much wildlife there.



NAIROBI Natinal Park

We just went there near the gate because of not enough time to entry and also we thought we will see the same type of wildlife there.




NAIROBI Museum

We just sent there a few minutes because of not enough time to entry.




NAIROBI Handcraft (Souvenir Shop)

There are many handcraft/souvenir shops in NAIROBI Town especially near the GLOBAL Museum. We just survey because she advice to go other place (in front of GRACIA Guest House) look like ‘Night Market’ in MALAYSIA where we got cheaper price and variety choice.



3 Wheel Restaurant

3 Wheel Restaurant is the most popular restaurant in richer residents there in NAIROBI. We spent there $30 for BBQ (5 persons: Myself, WO II Yusaini, Maj Traore, Miss Elize and our driver).




Notes:

Actually I plan to make ROCK CLIMBING and SAFARI (Full Day Package = $65) at LAKE NAIVASHA & HELL’S GATE where I make arrangement with one Travel Agency in NAIROBI. If you want, you can contact Mr Kenn Tims (info@nairobibackpackers.com). But we failed to do it because of AKAMBA Bus that we took from KAMPALA to NAIROBI broken down on the road. So I advise you don’t take AKAMBA Bus (very bad!). You can choose SCANDINAVIA BUS (more comfortable).
