A Day in Brunei

Our marathon journey from Australia back to the UK involved a 15hr stopover in Brunei so we booked onto a tour of the city.


Masjid Jamek Mosque

Ladies must preserve their modesty

The Sultan's entrance

Taxis on the river.
We went on a taxi ride around the Kampong Ayer water village, stopping for some tea at one of the houses.

In one of the houses we had a chance to dress in traditional wedding attire and pose in a wedding scene - practice for June 2012?

Houses in the water village - more than 30,000 people live in traditional houses built on stilts over the Brunei river.
