Wrap My World Around You: Trip to Labuan

Last December, my family and I made a trip to Labuan. We set off late in the afternoon and arrived at the Serasa terminal at 4pm. My dad parked the car while we waited inside. It has been a while since we have been to Labuan. The Serasa terminal has been renovated. It is quite spacious and able to accommodate a large amount of passengers. We were quite lucky actually. It was actually quite a last minute plan. My dad managed to get the tickets that same day after making calls several times. We left the car at the terminal parking lot for just that one night. We did not have to wait long, before proceeding inside the terminal to go through immigration and walked the long open roofed walkway, leading to the waiting ferry outside. We boarded on the "Seri Labuan 3" ferry.

We reached Labuan in 1 hour 20 minutes. Thankfully the weather was cooperating. After going through customs we went directly to the hotel where we will be staying for the night.

In the hotel

After checking in, we went to find a restaurant nearby for some dinner. We met some Bruneians also having their dinner. By this time, most of the shops are closing down. After dinner, we walked along the stretch of small shops until we reached the Labuan supermarket. It began to rain, but thankfully, it did not last long. We returned back to the hotel to rest.

The next day, we went to get some breakfast, then went shopping. We also visited the "pasar labuan" which is being allocated at another location since the usual location is being renovated.

We stayed in Labuan until 3pm, before we proceeded to the ferry terminal to board the "Sri Anna" ferry, which will bring us back to brunei.

It was raining on our journey back to Brunei. On the way, we saw a mini tornado in the distant! Fortunately, the tornado was no way near our ferry. The mini tornado caused a bit of chatter among the passengers, with many whipping out there cameras and mobile cameras to capture the event in the distance.
