Mr.Hedley's Trip

                                                 
                                                                Mr.Hedley
 
    In 1980, Mr Hedley with his wife and elder daughter decided to take a trip. They were in Brunei and they thoght about going to the Niah caves. That was two hours away from Brunei by plane so they decided to go on holiday.
  
    Mr Hedley's family was in BSB which is short for Bandar Seri Begawan the capital of Brunei. When they made their trip to the Niah caves in East Malaysia they drove by car for 4 to 5 hours then they had to stop driving and take a ferry. After that they took a small boat which cost them extra money because they arrived late. They stayed in a government rest house which was free.

   The next day early morning they went to see the cave and it was so big and smelly from inside. Also they saw men climbing poles in order to scrape birds' nests off the roof of one cave so the Chinese could put it in soup and eat it.

  By the end of the trip the car could not reverse gear; it was broken. Hedley's family had to get out of it and push it back. The whole trip took them two days and they learned a lot from it.
