Pan Borneo Highway

Pan Borneo Highway

Sarawak has a total road network of 29,000 KM, out of which of 1,000 KM Pan Borneo Trunk Road from Sematan to Lawas. I left Sarawak in 1982 and came back for several visits the last decades. Much has been changed since then. I could not identify the road networks in Kuching and lost in directions each time I drive in Kuching. When I left Kuching was a town and when I return Kuching has developed into a new city.

To keep myself updated, I decided to travel the Pan Borneo Highway the first thing after retirement. Starting the very Eastern end Tawau Town down the Western end Sematan Town.  From point "A" all the way by buses to point "T" as indicated in Google Map below:

2017 March I will travel the 2nd time the Pan Borneo Highway. This time driving a small car VIVA 1000.

With own transport, one will have more flexibility in stopping and seeing new things along the way.
