When we have finished our lunch, it was time to drive to the Sarawak/Brunei checkpoint at Tedungan. This is the worst checkpoint throughout the whole journey because of the heavy traffic. The time to go through this checkpoint can be at least 1 hour on weekdays or low traffic period. The time can be more than 1 hour on weekends or holidays. The Sarawak checkpoint is not a problem but the chokepoint is the Brunei Immigration. It opens 2 counters only and it took a while for them to process your passports.Any Brunaians reading this blog, take note. The Brunei government needs to speed up the processing time at his particular checkpoint.


We were out of the checkpoint and made our way to Jerudong Park and catch the highway to Kuala Belait. The highway is very good and it is a good place to test the maximum speed of the car. My car did maximum 140 km/h on the highway.Great drive. We passed Kuala Belait Junction and reached the Sungai Rasau Toll and paid Brunei$3 for the toll. We stamped our passports at the Sungai Tujoh Brunei/Sarawak checkpoint. There is another toll here and I paid RM10 to enter the highway to Miri City. We stayed overnight in Miri City because the whole journey took us about 12 hours and the distance is 450 km.
