Nice pics Richard.
Depending on how long you are going for I'd consider staying at a couple of hotels, one in Georgetown for the history and heritage and tbe other up Batu Ferringhi for the beaches, sunsets and National Park where you can hike to Monkey Beach or the more enduring trek toTurtle Beach or take a boat there or back or both, which are cheap.
Another good trek is Penang Hill which is a must see, starting from the Botanical gardens. Or get the funicular train up.
If you want a nice hotel up Ferringhi, I highly reccomen the Resa Sayang. Not cheap but great private beach, sunsets and pitch and putt golf course.
A nice restaurant that way is a Thai restaurant called Tree Monkey, where you sit under a canopy and can sometimes hear the monleys chattering away.
Must sees in Penang-
Penang Hill
A rickshaw tour of Georgetown
Love Lane, Georgetown for a night out and Kapitans for Indian food
Fort Cornwallis
The turtle sanctuary on turtle beach
Komtar- dunno if its still the tallest building there.
The horse racing is fun there, you can place bets too
Nandos
Shopping at Gurney Plaza or the newer Gurney Paragon nearby.
You can hire a Vespa on Chulia Street a few shops drown from Jalan Penang. It only takes an hour to get round the whole island.
Theres also a War Museum, butterfly farm, toy museum, snake farm. All of which i thought quite lame.
Take the wife on a kayak and paddle out to a little island, its named after someone. I forget who now. Takes about an hour.
Its just past the floating mosque anyway at the start of the incline up to Batu Ferringhi.
Hmm...might be worth yet another visit in my upcoming 3 months off.
TizShe and I spent a couple of days in Penang last month.
I finally got around to creating this.
Thanks for the three and a half minutes of what looked like a great time for Tizher and you. It may be awhile before they let me out of the fish bowl to travel again. I'm jealous.
Nice little production with the editing and all. You made some memories there to revisit one day.
Peace out, the fish.
you forgot the cemetery, a lovely quiet place, Love reading the tombstones
also a visit to the E&O hotel
