6 Things to Do in the Historic Sultanate of Brunei

It is high time to blog about countries less travelled and seldom make it to a tourists' itinerary.  

One good example is the tiny country of Brunei or commonly known as Brunei Darussalam as its official name. 

It is situated in the north west part of Borneo, with the South China Sea to the north and State of Sarawak surrounds other side. 

My one-week of stay in the city of Bandar Seri Begawan gave me a good picture of an oil-rich country. It's been quite a while when I first travelled to Brunei and things has slight change since then.

The country of Brunei is so small that you can enjoy the place in so short period of time. Of course, that will depend on what you want to see.

If you expect a night life, then, forget coming to this country. There is no life at night I am telling you just now, besides, alcohol is prohibited here.

Lucerne: The Thrill of Mount Pilatus

Lucerne is a popular destination in Switzerland.

It is an essential stop for a day if you just want to tour the city, or two if you want to explore Mount Rigi or Mount Pilatus. Both excursions offers a great view of Lucerne from the summit and a chance to take a boat ride on the Lake Lucerne and a cabin ride up to the mountains.

While in the city, take a relaxing cruise around the lake? You will get fabulous panoramic view of the lovely landscape, the Old Town and the beautiful rolling hills of Switzerland adorned with charming homes and magnificent chateaus.
