HISTORY
 
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.
