A holiday from my holiday!

I decided to take a little break from island life so I took the night bus to Kota Kinabalu. Normally I sleep very well on buses but not when I sit next to a 200 kg Malay guy who kept elbowing me in the ribs and squashing me against the window so I couldn’t breathe but after kicking him back a few times I managed to get a little sleep!
Arrived in KK at 5 am and tried with my limited Malay to find the ferry to Labuan. Found a guy who spoke English and was going to Labuan as well and I joined him. He said it was cheaper to take the bus so we did that. The bus left at 6.30 so he invited me for breakfast first. It was a 2 hour bus ride to Menombok where the ferry departed for Labuan. My companion payed for the boat ride and I was getting a little suspicios and wondered how to get rid of him but when we arrived to Labuan he said goodbye and left…
I walked around for a few hours trying to find the backpackers but gave up and checked in at a hotel. Ate at KFC, read a little, took a three hour nap, read some more and went to bed!
Next morning I took the boat to Brunei. Had decided to treat myself to a nice hotel but when I saw how run down and dodgy it looked I changed my mind and checked in at the youth hostel that looked a lot nicer and was 70 $ cheaper… There I have a 10 bed dorm all by myself and can use the pool for 1$!
The center of BSB, the capital of Brunei is maybe one square km so including lunch break (sandwich, coffee and a chocolate cheese cake to die for), internet cafe (with a connection so slow even the most patient person would explode) and a detour it took less than three hours to see all!
After more reading I went to meet some friends that had just arrived with a little survival package from DK with brown bread flour mix, pate and Haribo ( I’m in heaven)! After talking a few hours I went out for dinner and that is where I am now enjoying wifi and a coffee;-)!
Tomorrow I go back to KK and then Mabul…
