A worthy Road-Trip from KL to Penang [Day 2]

Greeted by the bright morning sun is something which we are grateful as our itinerary stated that it's gonna be a morning full of fun and adventure!

It doesn't take us long to get ready, then take a slow walk to Lorong Macalister for our breakfast.....

We walked back to our hotel, packed our bags, checked-out, paid our parking ticket and off we go, where to??? Well, as Karen is missing out Penang's favourite Curry Mee while having breakfast, she is driving around in search of this yummy food!  After a few turn she suddenly saw this stall and it doesn't take long for us to get seated and enjoyed munching this delicious bowl of Curry Mee and slurping it's tasty curry gravy!

We are on our way.....

stopped by to get a closer and clearer view of Penang Bridge....
finally, we reached our destination.....
bought our tickets RM20.00 each, given a simple briefing by the officer on duty and we are all ready for the "Back to Malaya WWII" journey.....
this is where we enter.....

the passage way into the tunnel...

to go into the tunnel, take the few-step stairs.....
crawl through the 7-meter tunnel of the air raid shelter, 

climb up the vertical 9-meter iron stairs

and out we come "Yeah, I've made it!"


this picture and the next two are scary to view.....





our fun-filled historical journey ends here.....
as we walk through this door, we are  back to Malaysia today!

the popularity of this museum is proven at National Geographic Channel

and History Asia Channel...

the beautiful landscape at the entrance into the museum ground


It's indeed an interesting Museum full of historical knowledge and information, and though we are being attacked by the mozzies but we continue on with our journey from the starting point to the exit!

On our way we manage to capture two planes during their landing as we stop beside Penang Airport.....


We exit Penang Island via the New Penang Bridge which was just officially declared in April.....



Our road-trip ends with  YUMMY Curry Chicken Bun at Kampar.....

It's another wonderful road-trip with lots of yummy Penang food and great opportunity to visit new and interesting places in the beautiful Land of The Orient!
