Considering that Penang is no stranger to me as I've been there many times, but there are still many places which I've not visited before!
Driving into Penang is totally a different thing all over as compared to flying there, as we can drive wherever we intend to go without having to waste time travelling from one point to another.
The journey took roughly more than four hours, steady drive of 90 to 120 km/hr. with two quick stop for toilet. We stopped by for lunch upon our arrival at Penang's Chew Jetty, followed by a brisk walk through the Jetty, get to see many small shops selling lots of souvenir items, local foodie and the views where the jetty ends is just scenic!
Our next stop is Fort Cornwallis, purchased our tickets at RM2.00 each and off we disappeared behind the walls full of ancient and historical tales......
After getting a layer tanner, we decided to check-in at our pre-booked Tune Hotel. It took us quite a while for the room to be ready, after which we enjoyed a good cool bath, and off again for food, Karen's next item on the list are Spicy Fried Mee and Indian Rojak.
Where to next?? Penang Hill off course! Purchased our tickets RM8.00 each (My Card holder) and off we jump into the train....
We explored the whole Penang Hill, and though it's considered cool at the top of the hill, but we are still sweating. We decided to stop by at David Brown's Strawberry Hill Restaurant for drink and a set of scones with tea. As we slurp our drink and munch the scones, we enjoyed the fresh air and the beautiful scenic views from the foyer where we sat!
As we are early for dinner we made our way to Esplanade Seafront at Jalan Padang Kota Lama to view the historical Cenotaph and enjoying the view of the seafront.....
We then made our way to a busy street with lots of hawker stalls to meet up with Karen's friend for some light Penang's food. Next, we intend to grab something 'not-so-heavy' for supper with icy-cold drinks to quench our thirst, and this is what we came across and enjoyed all the food served ~ yummy ~
We are all 'full to the brim' and are wondering how long we have to stay awake and chat before we fall asleep! To our surprise, after a good bath, we easily fall asleep......
