At home in Africa and Asia these travelers
of the compass rose, are resident in Brunei
Darussalam, from where they organize Eco-expeditions through wild Borneo
(DDL Tour-
operators). Penan nomads, kerosene lamps, snakes, crocs and leeches, and wild water
boating, are as common as a speed up to Palawan Interior just
for the sake of the Taot
Batu, the last of the cave people.
They scuba dive or Parasail, and if nothing
else "kick" some landmines at the Berm wall
in
the Spanish Sahara. They walked the Camino trail, a 600 km, to greet
Santiago de
Compostella, Climb the Mt. Kinabalu 20 times over, and the Mt.
Kilimanjaro for the visit Brunei
year 2001. But now in 2007 an event took place which Pfileas Fogg and even
Ibn Batuta the
famous Muslim traveler would have described as an overland voyage of
gargantuan task.
Driving solo from Cape Town, South Africa to the
Mediterranean Sea and Europe, then
following the traders on the silk route towards the rising sun, to reach
after 11/2 years, wild
Borneo and peaceful Brunei, their home again. One would think, such a
daunting expedition
can only be achieved with technical support as seen on famous rallies.
But quiet on the
contrary, Harun and Norhayati travel alone.
If you dare to
follow the unrelenting journey then go to
AFRICA Overland
or
ASIA Overland for updates. Should you want to know
about their Borneo expeditions then
go to
ECO TOURS
Both travelers returned to Brunei in May 2008, after their flawless epic journey of 52.000km, solo overland. Traversing 37 countries on their way from Cape Town, South Africa via Europe to Brunei Darussalam.
