Summer, summer sun

So I'm almost half way through my travels in Brunei, what an amazing place it is so weird to be living in such a different culture! Within the first week of staying here I had the absolute pleasure of meeting the sultan of Brunei! He is equivalent to their king and the country love him! After meeting him I could see why, he was such a relaxed man and very easy to speak to! 

So far I have been making the most of the sun by sunbathing at the yacht club often I have also visited shopping centres which I must admit are not quite like those back home in the UK..... they also sell a lot of 'genuine fakes' which made me laugh! People often stop and stare as you walk past because we are white and British however people are very friendly and are often just interested to find out where you come from.

The other day we also did a guided private boat trip along the river of Brunei and went to see the wildlife along the coast. We went at dusk so the tide was going out and we were lucky enough to see monkeys, crocodiles, snakes, otters, monitor lizards and many different types of birds in their natural habitat, I must admit I am not a massive animal lover but this was incredible and nothing like I had ever experienced before! 

The country is very interesting and there are some beautiful sights to be seen. Although choosing appropriate clothing is really hard because its sooooo hot out here the last thing you want to do is wear long items of clothing that cover your knees and shoulders! I have mainly been wearing maxi dresses with pashminas as it is simply too hot to wear trousers of any kind in the day time. Although I can't complain seeing as I'm from England where it rains 90% of the time!
