A few days ago we were supposed to board the ferries from Menumbok – Labuan – Muara for our trip back to Brunei.
But several days before that, my husband suggested that we take the overland drive home instead. Bad weather was expected and this would mean rough ferry rides or worse, being stranded in Labuan.
It was not a welcome change of plan because having driven back on many Decembers, we know what it would be like.
So instead of enjoying sceneries of Menumbok, Labuan and Muara port activities with huge ships, boats on curt trailer hitches – we spent a lot of time not-enjoying the sight of a long line of cars stuck back to back as we waited for our turn for the ferry across the Pandaruan River from Puni to Limbang for 3 whole hours.
The worst part about this river crossing that always means hours of traffic jam in December is that, it barely takes 5 mins.
