The reason for the blog is simple really, my family and I are off to Sabah, the Malaysian bit of Borneo, following in the footsteps of people like Alfred Russel Wallace, David Attenborough, Jacques Cousteau and the guy in the veg shop in North Street who said he'd been but in retrospec…

The reason for the blog is simple really, my family and I are off to Sabah, the Malaysian bit of Borneo, following in the footsteps of people like Alfred Russel Wallace, David Attenborough, Jacques Cousteau and the guy in the veg shop in North Street who said he'd been but in retrospect I think he may have thought I said Bournemouth. This will be my childrens' first trip outside of Europe and we are taking them out of school for 2 weeks and will be off for most of December. Bring it on, or, if my iphone translator app is to be believed, thats' Membawa pada in Malaysian
Why Borneo ? Well it is a very long way and covered in fantastic exotic flora and fauna and has totally brilliant food. Oh and some of the world's best dive sites.

Your blog came by normal e-mail, in full, but only the first paragraph came on your Borneo Blog. Never mind, it seems you are having a fantastic time.
Snow here this morning!! xxxx
HiFi
Well it is b****y freezing here so you can keep really quiet about lack of air-conditioning - and the only animals I have seen today are the horses and the cats so your blog has a far more exotic feel than a very wintery Bath. Have a good trip. Will check in with your blog on your return.
