Penang Malaysia

After K.L. we headed to Penang where we planned to have a "chill out" week... first we took a sleeper train from K.L., then a ferry from Butterworth and finally a local bus to the northern beach resorts through an enourmous and very shabby looking city called Georgetown... around 8 am we had a over priced breakfast at the "beach front" where there was no beach to be seen whilst watching a stray dog do its business on a smelly dirty street in front of us... can't blame it for making that statement... we decided to leave and go to Langkawi, which ment another bus, ferry, bus, taxi, ferry and taxi rides before finally reaching our beach paradise.


On a ferry between Butterworth and Georgetown (in Penang).


Paradise island transit... not!


State of the art air con buses... not!


Georgetown street scene with lush beutiful terrace on the left... not!


Riding the footplate.

We are outta here!
