Kuala Belait, Brunei

We arrived in Brunei on 4th September 2012. Only 25 nautical miles from Miri. It's a small country completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, but rich in petroleum and natural gas. It's ranked the 5th richest nation out of 182 countries.

We anchored (N 04.34.521 E 114.11.781) opposite the small Kuala Belait Boat Club in 3m of water and spent 4 days here.

I can't remember much of what we did here but I do remember we bought ourselves 2 bicycles and the fuel is cheap! at 40 cents/liter for diesel and 60 cents/liter for petrol.

An early birthday present :)
Did you know? Even though Brunei is a small country, it's still approximately 8x bigger than Singapore
