The beauty of Luba

Continued from the article Tomb of the pious king at Luba.


As it turned out the tomb building was locked and the caretaker was not around.


Then we saw a path leading to another part of the area and decided to check it out.



As we go down the stairs there appeared to be another graveyard below the small hill where lies the tomb building.


The path we followed on the other hand looks like its leading to a garden.








Then we started seeing something else...





Ah... a domed-jetty and another river. Or is it the same river we crossed to reach the tomb of Luba but a different part?






Whatever this river is much wider and looks more scenic...











Later would I learn that it is the main embarkation point for those living at Kampung Air (Brunei's water village) to get to beautiful Luba. I also learned that Kampung Air folks tend to bury their dead at the graveyard below the pious ruler's tomb, a rather curious fact as the village is situated miles downriver, towards the direction seen here.
