Brunei Trans Africa...Come and Visit Brunei Darusslam

Ahlan, Marhabban, Mabruk..!!!

I received an email from an Arab-friends in Oman sending me this news,

about a Brunei Car in Oman...driven by the Bruneian's Advanture's Norhayati and Harun undertake the Trans Africa Journey.....from South Africa to Austria to Brunei Darussalam...

Congratulations to both of them..(D'Bruneian's)

you may visit their's websites.

(Lots of interesting stories and experiences by the couples)http://www.overthehorizon.net/oman.html

Here are some shorts stories of the couples arrived in Oman

Oman..News.....

"A right hand vehicles cannot drive in Oman." said the civilian dressed officer. "You have to go back". Oh-man, OMAN!
Our thoughts were rotating. Back was no option as we had no visa and Brunei was in the east anyhow.

Besides we had press conference on Tuesday and TV on Sunday. "Sir," Harun bowed down like an English butler before his lordship master and made himworried: "Sir, please, on Tuesday is press conference" Thursday it will be in the Oman papers, that we could not enter. On Sunday
Norhayati is live TV in Brunei, you can see it here if you have satellite dish. Half the world will know you lower the barrier in front of us"

These were the big guns we brought in position and he became obviously concerned and went to his boss in the office. We discussed our options: Back to Yemen? No way! We had to go on. If needed we sleep here call the embassy next morning ask them to organize
us a trailer to transit JAMBO on it through Oman. Oh-man!
Nowhere dear reader did we hear about this restriction. Not in travel books, nor internet, nor in the Oman embassy in Brunei.
When they came, the officer said:" You can go to Salalah" but tomorrow morning see the police chief. He will inspect the car and
maybe give you the permission. We sign a paper agreeing and confirming this intention and thanked them for their trust in us.
They were at all times gentlemen. We know it was a risk for them too. The chief of the border station gave his mobile number:" If there
is problem call"
Our way about 190 km through the mountains towards Salalah was long, the night dark and cold. Four hours we drove carefully until
finally we saw the orange streetlights of Salalah, reflecting in the dark sky. A hotel in the outskirt awaited us, the rack rate was
35.- Rial a night. We got it for 16.- including a breakfast.

Go to their's websites and read more......very intersting journey....wassalam!!!

Thank you to those who have voted for this blog. I really appreciate it!

To the loyal readers, thank you for your continued support to this blog.

Actually, winning this catergory symbolises or represent Kuala Belait Bloggers, without whose support for the KB Bloggers Night, would not be a reality.

I guess the brainstorming with Senor Pablo, KB Happening and Nonnie really pays off and we are able to unite many of bloggers from Kuala Belait..

I am still new in blogging but I hope this is just the beginning.

I hope my winning will inspire others to start their own families blog.

I first got inspired by Senor Pablo when he first started a year ago. Pablo did most of the reporting of our family activities before.

Since he left for studies down under, I felt there was a vacuumn and I decided to fill in that gap.

Alhamdulillah! It pays off at the end of the day.

Bah! As promised.. makan kambing!! hahahah.....!!!

To all bloggers..... thank you for your supports.....

Once again, thank you to you all for your constant supports, readerships, to all my arab-families, parents, brothers & sisters, relatives and friends.....
