It's a little under 85km from Bandar to Brunei's second biggest town, KUALA BELAIT . There's nothing very enticing here, but it's the main transit point for buses to and from Miri in Sarawak . Buses to Sarawak leave from the bus station on the intersection of Jalan Bunga Raya and Jalan McKerron (B$10.20); the fare includes the ferry across Sungei Belait and the connecting Sarawakian bus over the border. The town's taxi stand is across the road from the bus station: drivers charge around B$100 for a full car to Miri, though you should be able to haggle them down substantially. To get to Kuala Belait from Bandar, you have to go via Seria, 20km east . Jalan McKerron houses several good restaurants - the best of which are the Buccaneer Steakhouse at no. 94, whose mid-priced international food is aimed squarely at the expat market; and the Akhbar Restaurant, at no. 99a, with a Malay and North Indian menu. Raya's Orchid Room, on Jalan Bunga, does good-value three-course Western set lunches (Mon-Fri; B$5). Next door to the Buccaneer Steakhouse at no. 93, Hotel Sentosa (tel 03/331345; $25-40) offers well-appointed and welcoming rooms . You can change money at the Hong Kong Bank.
