Our night out in Labuan turned into a free day of recovery, and then a late start the next day. Following a coastal quiet road, we cycled alongside the beach, swimming in the bath-like water. I have my hammock set up overlooking the beach. Clement has his mosquito net slung up under a parasol, sleeping on a deck chair.

Thanks again Charles for the great time from Miri to Labuan. It was quite an experience of living it up. After all the partying, it’s nice to be on the road again, and sleeping in my hammock!
We’re all ready to meet up with Will again who left us in Brunei to take part in a mountain bike race. But first, there’s a 1500m climb in 10km. That’ll be fun!

Travelling is hard work – enjoy your day off. We are having a free afternoon in Rio, and plan to just laze by the pool and read.
Sounds good! We’re cycling through the jungle in Borneo!
That beach photo is lovely. And always curious…are the silty rivers ‘normal’ or is it erosion from the clear cutting of rainforest? What do the locals say?
I think that’s pretty normal..
