Well, we got here ok, despite a 4 Weddings moment on the morning of our departure. I know I set the alarm clock for 5am, but it unaccountably turned itself off during the night. I woke up, felt something was wrong, and discovered it was 5:30. The taxi was due at 6am, so it was a bit of a rush.
But we got away ok, and caught the train, then the tube to Heathrow. The flight was only slightly delayed and took about 12 hours to get us to Kuala Lumpur. Then there was a connecting flight to Borneo and a taxi waiting to take us to the hotel. Almost exactly 24 hours in transit. And our luggage arrived ok, despite the fact that we'd forgotten to padlock it in the rush to get away.
The hotel is very fine, and I've taken some photos of birds, but I think they're probably the local equivalent of sparrows. We're thinking about trips into the forest etc to see more exotic things in the next few days.

Even if they are sparrow equivalents, they'll have wonderfully exotic names... can't decide whether Fulvous-chested Jungle-Flycatcher or Fluffy-backed Tit-Babbler is my favourite!
Glad you met the challenge of the taxi ok... I did a similar thing coming back from Belfast.
The hotel looks very fine indeed from the pictures on the website!
