Here in Brunei we cannot spend much time outside during the day (it's just soooo hot!) unless we are in a sheltered area or near/in the water. So for Oliver to spend time outdoors is very special (except for swimming - he gets to swim at least once a week all year around). Some of Oliver's friends and parents decided to go to Jerudong Park for a play and a picnic. We got there around 5 and it was just a perfect time of day. The sun was very low and there was a nice breeze. To our surprise there were quite a few families in the park. Usually we get to have the park to ourselves! Maybe making the admission free (you still have to pay for the rides) attracted more locals ?
The place is huge and there are so much equipment there. Oliver took his shoes off and walked around on the freshly cut grass, went on the slides, swings, and see-saws. He had a ball!!
There are some rides even Oliver can get on - like super slow caterpillar rides so we thought we will give it a go but unfortunately it was a prayer time and all the rides need to be stopped until it finishes (we respect the culture). While we waited it looked like it was going to rain so we had to give it a miss and head home.
We were there only an hour and a half but made us feel very refreshed. Of course it helped Oliver to eat well and sleep well! Double bonus for us parents!
