Sapphire Princess Day 3 Brunei and Day 4 Sea day

Day 3

Arrived at Muara port, Brunei with a beautiful sunrise.

Booked a 5hr tour at s$100 with Syarikat Yusmal hp 8713141 with the help of my former colleague who was in Brunei in Sept. Asked Faizon to take us to a local restaurant for breakfast first. The grill smells nice but the ayam nasi was very filling. Bought the fritters back to our ship and love them!

Went to Kianggeh Traditional Market and took a water taxi at $10 per pax from there to look at Kampong Ayer and the Mangrove. The boat ride was a bit scary but we did learn a lot. The villagers rent the house for a$225 per month and they can purchase it 33 or 50 years later. He also showed us the traps which the fisherman lined along the mangrove.

Visited the Royal Regalia Museum and had photo taken outside the Ommar Ali Saifuddien Mosque and Sultan Palace. Followed by shopping at the Mall.

We had dinner at Sterling Steak, the best restaurant on board.

After dinner, we watched the performance by VIP Duo in the lounge and then the performance by the magician Daniel Ka at Princess theatre.

Ordered the deluxe canape for supper.

Day 4

Woke up late as it was another sea day. Watched Chef Patry Vinay presents recipes from the Norman Love chocolate Journeys program followed by a visit to the Santa De Fe Dining room where there is a $10 only sales where I bought a watch.

Lunch at the International dining room and we ordered the sweet and sour fish and meatball soup.

I attended the Origami and Kirigami class at the Wheelhouse bar by Matt and hubby laze along the promenade enjoying the ocean view while waiting for me.

Went for a swim at the pool terrace and ate the hotdog and pizza from the Trident Grill and Prego Pizzeria (no picture as we did not bring along the camera). Love their pizza!

We had dinner at the Sabatini. A bit disappointing as the lobster and fish did not taste as good but the lobster is definitely sweeter than in the dining room.
