80% of Brunei is covered in tropical rainforest
Hot and very humid - don't let the clouds fool you

No concrete monstrosities on the coast line in Brunei

We found this at the back of the Mosque 
The nearest we could get to the Sultan's Palace, well hidden and well guarded
This is the most ornate Mosque in Brunei, paid for by the Sultan for his people

I have fond memories of Brunei... last visited about ten years ago... well worth a return visit... the "special tea" in the local chinese restaurants was a lovely pale well chilled amber liquid commonly known as beer!!! till they got raided and revert to the oolong variety!
Your photos bought back some happy memories of beach barbecues on a deserted beach. I agree the clouds are deceptive and the rain storms we saw were awesome and often very welcome!
Well worth a return visit a must is a night visit to Jeradong Park the free theme park built by the Sultan for his subjects.
Bon Voyage...
