We are now anchored off the Kuala Belait boatclub,
where we met 40 years ago. It was amazing to bring our own boat up the Belait
river. The boat club looks very much the same as it was, although Kuala Belait
has grown beyond recognition. It looks very clean and modern.
We had a great day today visiting the Gurkha
Battalion; we were very well looked after by the Gurkha Major Dammar. It was
wonderful to be taken down memory lane. For Tim and Maggie it was a great
experience as well.
We also stopped at Panaga School, where I used to
work. That is now very big.
Tomorrow we'll go to G9, where I used to live and
have a walk around Seria, maybe even have a game of golf at the Panaga
Club.
