Terry, Rose and Brian,
Paul and I have arrived back in Australia and unfortunately gone to back to work. We just wanted to say thank you once again and how much we enjoyed the holiday with you. It was an amazing experience and a unique way to experience Borneo. I have travelled around alot over the past 17 years but have never had the visceral feeling like after your tour. After leaving your mountain paradise, Maria looked after us very well and couldn’t do enough for us, so thank you and her for her assistance and help.
We had a wonderful and complete tour of Sandakan and as we were sitting in a lovely and pleasant enough tour bus; I looked at Paul and stated how sterile and seperated I felt travelling through the countryside. Paul agreed and said It was not the same as on the bikes when you could smell, feel and hear the country. I agree. You have spoilt it all for us now. In fact our visit planned for Vietnam in 09, has now changed and I have started to research for a company like yours, that can offer the same fantastic way to see the Vietnam, although I personally will be happy to not get as “up close and personal” to Vietnam as I did with the Borneo ground…
I have been riding alot since and Terry, you will be happy to know, I have enrolled in a Off road course end of Oct. I feel very confident on my bike now, so thank you for your patience with me during our rides! My little Honda CRF230 felt like a toy after the Aprilla’s but I now throw her around a bit more now and am enjoying riding – it’s like a new found drug!!
So once again, thank you. I have spread the word and have passed out some your business cards.
PS – Wondering if you still had the photos of our water crossing and if you could send them if possible. Take care, everyone and see you again (for sure!!!)
Cheryl and Paul
