Penang Day 3: Going, going, gone.

Asked the hotel staff if we could check out slightly late.

Happily, it's possible.

So we checked out 2 places, the blue mansion and chocolate boutique (hosts chocolate musueum).

Spent like 500 ringgit across 2 days buying coffee and chocolate.

Insane.

Penang Day 2: A sad supper

A sad supper is when the murtabak is not what the person is expecting.

Penang Day 2: Signals

Celcom signal dropped outside the outskirts of Georgetown, making this Internet addict sad. Luckily, things were interesting enough to keep me from being desperate.

Weather still hot as ever. The driver said that it hit 36 degrees.

Penang Day 1: The Hotel and its vicinity

A note: After years, blogger is still not mobile friendly for posting. I guess they don't care.

Moving on: we touched down at penang International Airport approximately 12.55pm.

Our initial plan was to head to Tanjong Bungah for the floating mosque and then to Batu Feringghi for the night market.

We had landed in the middle of Thaipusam celebrations. And it's a great deal. A lot more of a deal than we had expected.

We were advised by the hotel concierge that Batu Feringghi was not a good idea at all. So, a change of plans.

We set about exploring the nearby shops from our hotel instead.

More on that post-trip.
