Don't worry though, we did manage to stop stuffing our faces to do a few things. Firstly, we did the usual routine and walked all day, stopping off at Fort Cornwallis which could hardly be named a fort when you can simply bail over walls and make it sturdier with big lego pieces. We also kept up our museum visits with a drop in at the Penang State Museum to understand the rule under the East India Company and the invasion of those pesky japs, but no matter how much history we take in, children's games always appeal most. As you can all see below, Victor and Leo trying to decipher some old malaysian game and failing after half an hour and then getting shown by the 6 year olds behind them, that's set one maths for you.
The hostel here in Penang was top notch with a shower that had five different nozzles, yes we were so amazed by this that it has to be in the blog. The nightlife didn't really get touched by us in Penang, mainly because we had two or three meals per sitting so that by nightime all we could muster up is getting the bevvies in and drowning in the hostel. But this turned out pretty well as the Lychee and Watermelon vodka soon found us new friends.
There hasn't been any hiccups along this trip as of yet, but our second day had us nearing tears. Having decided for a lie in of around 1pm, we set off to visit the Tropical Fruit Farm to make up for our lack of five-a-day but after getting off a 1.5 hour bus journey to catch a connection, we were told the bus doesn't come until 4pm meaning the place would be shut by the time we got there... thus wasting 3 or so hours on mad bus journeys falling off cliff edges. Our rescue came in the form of Kek Lok Si Temple which provided immense views of Penang as seen in the vlog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6-3nQ-vcK8).
Penang has everything a food lover wants, great meals for dirrrrrty dirty prices. Next stop HK, let's see if the dim sum sessions can compare.
Keep watching.x
