Borneo calling...

It's not so like me to book a trip months ahead... BUT I just did.  Days ago, I booked a flight to Kota Kinabalu... and my exit route is still to be determined.

I've been around 10 days on Borneo in 2010 during my backpacking trip and I guess I just fell in love with the island.  I'm a certified island girl, I know.  Living on an archipelago and not getting bored of being on these islands.

So, for my Christmas and New Year, I'll be exploring Borneo!

I still don't know what I want to see. For sure,  I want to see Siti's family again (I've stayed with them for a week in 2010 during Ramadan).  For sure, I won't go up Mount Kinabalu just because it is a mountain where you can't really camp - not allowed to camp!

Well, what I want to see is Indonesian Borneo and Sarawak.  I've been to Brunei already.  Sabah is where Kota Kinabalu is.  And though I've stepped on Sarawak - entered and exited it in transit on the truck I've hitchedhike on - it is not counted for being there.  I've heard of Kuching... and Kalimantan... and the south of Sabah... and many things.

Now, I have to plan my way around... actually plan my way out of Borneo by going around.

Anyone knows a ferry from Borneo to Java?  I need help on that.  And on the transportation in and around and from Borneo.

See you soon, Borneo!
