We went by the very pretty Jame’ Asr Hassanil Bolkiah Mosque on our tour of Brunei. This mosque is incredibly ornate.
And of course I was taking pictures of interesting 4x4s.
The entrance to the mosque.
These minarets are fantastic!
And another interesting Toyota.
A Toyota Prado.
The two of us outside the mosque.
Along the way to the capital city of Brunei, we stopped off at the Empire Hotel. I’m pretty sure this is the only six star hotel I’ve ever been in. This place is massive and very well appointed.
It reminds me of some of the Pharaonic monuments in Egypt.
This place is ready for a lot of people but there was hardly anyone there when we stopped by.
A gorgeous azure sea out the windows.
Looking up at the dome in the ceiling.
Walking around the grounds.
This place is absolutely massive.
Enjoying a little pool time before continuing on our way.
Back through the lobby to our car. This lobby is just so massive.
We spotted a couple monkeys on our way out of the car park.
Inquisitive little fellows!
And I couldn’t resist taking a picture of this sweet Toyota.
On our way to the capital of Brunei, we stopped off at the Jerudong Park where Michael Jackson once played a concert.
This crazy water feature is a diamond setting. Interesting artwork here.
Me and my colleague having a ball in Brunei! This is probably the only picture where we weren’t talking about work.
The fancy entrance to the kid’s amusement park.
Gates to the concert grounds.
Such an interesting fountain.
Nice land cruiser in the parking lot.
And a nice Mitsubishi van.
We got to go see this lonely elephant that the Sultan of Brunei was given as a gift. He really needs a buddy. And maybe shouldn’t be chained up.
At least he’s got some shade.
