Southeast Asia - one of the most exotic regions of our planet, which has incredible natural beauty, and capable of indescribable scenery and boasts excellent facilities for recreation of millions of people. Therefore, the island of Borneo, also known as Kalimantan, simply could not be here. This place is unique in almost everything that characterizes it. First, it is one of the largest islands on earth.

This is how easy the road to the beach every day will discover something new and interesting, as well as gain new experiences.
