BONAIRE - Day 2 - One of my top 10 so far!

A fellow passenger had told me about a private charter that was available in Bonaire, for a day of sailing.  I booked it a couple of weeks before the Miller's arrived and invited two other friends, Bosco and Nuron to join us on this Fun Day. We all had a fabulous time! The sailing was exceptional and the dutch couple who were our captain and first mate, clearly loved what they do - they were so accommodating and the service was top notch with lots of yummy drinks and snacks throughout the journey. We also anchored two different times to snorkel and swim.

Life doesn't get better than this!!!

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.

The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
