Our first night in Brunei

I remember very clearly the first night that we arrived in Brunei. We had flown from Bali, which was only a few hours away. However, it was a night flight so the children were feeling very tired when we arrived. It took a long time to get through immigration because we needed to get work visas. Finally we were able to collect all our luggage.

We thought someone was going to meet us but there was no one there. We didn’t know what to do. We sat there for a long time but no one came to collect us. After some discussion we rang up a hotel and they said they would send a driver to pick us up. A driver arrived in the end but he was from a different hotel! He took us through lots of dark streets until finally we got to the right hotel. I was so pleased that at last we could go to sleep.
