@vigen, in Borneo, it's very often that there's problem with the distribution of the fuel. Sometimes, if the fuel comes late, a car that has waited for 4-5 hours could only fill up to 20 litres, sometimes if it's really 'critical' a car could only fill up to 5 litres. But there are still people who sell fuel for up to 3-5 times more than the price that's set by the government. Though not everyday, it's very often.
@rayhyland, the Land Rover 6x6 is Fran's from Pekanbaru, not from Malaysia.
From 2 days ago, I had problems to report because of the GSM line, but I tried to send emails from THURAYA satellite.\, which in this expedition, one expedition from THURAYA joined so as to help the expedition team to send reports. From 2 days ago (evening), we have entered remote areas and mobile phone no longer worked, I managed to up date by THURAYA satellite.
Below are some of the newest pictures:
