Apr 27 - Up early, the idea being to have the guesthouse call a taxi for us to the bus station. I bought tickets online that don’t specify where in BSB the station is, but I more or less figured it out.
However, at 7:00 there is no one at reception, and I have yet to see a taxi on the street in this country. Go to Plan B and wait at the main bus stop. I don’t know for sure if it is Bus 01 but we wait for it to pass by and I ask. It is correct, and soon we are let off at what is not a bus station but more a night market that is closed. But the bus is there so we just saved a taxi fare.
Bus almost empty as we roll out of town. I was hoping we would go across the new bridge that connects the two pieces of land that comprise Brunei, but to my horror we turn south along the old road. This means we will have to:
1) Cross the border into Malaysia (Sarawak)
2) Cross the border back into Brunei
3) Cross the border into Malaysia again (Sarawak)
4) Cross the border from Sarawak to Sabah.
