15 to 18/04 - Malaysia, Penang Island
the night of April 14 to 15 and day 15
After a final breakfast Ploss direction the bus station to take a night bus.
course no question of crossing the border at night, the goal is to bring s to take the first bus the next morning. Our bus leaves at 22:30, 8 road, we should arrive around 6:30. Nickel ... Perspectives yes:)
We came across a driver completely shattered, we arrived at the station was about 4am, over 2 hours of advance, he made no pause and rolling like crazy. On a bus from the height of any corner a bit fast is felt at once, the correct bin we had the feeling that the bus could go to bed ... a journey of patient, interrupted sleep. We finished the night at the bus station waiting for our departure for Malaysia at 8:30 ... No. Were we not more free:)
The trip to Malaysia s move is going smoothly, Lulu and PY have just had to pay a fee for the visa had expired for one day (very very dear to the last day) but if any nickel. A new stamp on the passport and here we are in malaysia.
Penang Branch, a small island in the north west of Malaysia, the island after the most colonial of the guides.
We ask ourselves, we strap our sandals and walk towards the city center. It will be a little quiet after the ride. In passing a shop window is a bijiouterie aback by a hand scupltee ... and the owner thinks that we love, it makes us fit and we did visit her gallery, she sculpts ... Ben hands again and again ... time quite funny and refreshing. The jewelry is air conditioned and outside it is mega hot. In moving from the Thai beach beside the sea in malaysia aa new Thermometer soared. It will end in a small cooktail (I'm still looking in my rum pina colada, that I may drink deeply with an alcohol: (().
The April 16
After a good night's rest well deserved given the stormy night that it had passed, it sets out to discover the city: old house, temples ...
We begin with the visit of a blue house, an old house of a wealthy Chinese who settled in Penang. The house was used in the filming of Indochine. Catherine, you walk on your footsteps.
The visit, I must speak to you ... not a historical point of view but as you describe our guide. It is indeed falling into a guided tour. It was a lady old enough and how to say ... c is the authoritarian or an old instit bitter or it would be the likes. Forbidden to speak, must ask questions but not too much anyway because we will rembroue. I n add it. The visit was in English, two women talked for a visit (and more about the visit) the guide had interrupted and said "May I help you? If You Have Questions ask me if not ..." basically had to close ... It was so so wise but it has not been easy. A little one asks questions and s is limited because deals idiot ... An unforgettable moment enough:)
We continue the day by crossing through Little India, Chinatown and full of temples Buddhist, Chinese or mosque. C is really amazing to see these different places of worship to rub ...
A wonderful day so still under the sun ... well almost, barely reaching al hotel as the rain joined us.
April 17
Today we begin by renting bikes. We think the bike was at first but the bike rental is cheaper. I joke not c is cheaper and can be mounted above a 2. So it will turn the island by motorbike ... and in view of the island well we did well:)
first stop, a temple HINDUISM ... well ... how to say 'm not a fan at all, it looks like a temple made me a disney world. The buddhas are colorful and I think it loses a lot of charm. We have not even paid to go up the temple, the first level was enough.
Directorate therefore the top of the mountain bike or a dam holds back a great lake or the dam is completely integrated into the environment it is covered with greenery. The place offers a superb view of George Town. We decided to go around the lake and along the way a small way Tiger Hill said ... In memory of our dear Tiger Beer is the beer decided to take the path just to see. And I confess that I were there first has to want ... at least like that not even the right to grumble. Hill and yes I should have put the chip al ear, C was a road that climbed incredibly ... sincerely until then I had never climbed anything like it ... While the road crossing the jungle with a beautiful landscape ... but admits that j J stays more focused on breathing and I was not alone:) We were all sweaty. At the turn of a corner was found a small waterfall that was refreshing break from aprem ... of fresh water for sprinkling s ... bin in this case these little details reveal a character of the most important. We were so close to leave al assault on our way. It has continued to rise a bit before ending up on the dish ... AC and would get back up again ... So we decided to turn back, well have to say that we did not know or go back down the road and then have to recover any remonyter the bike .. good turn around the vote was al unanimate:)
Descent therefore our mountain without any Tiger Meet, we end our tour of the lake and towards a small canteen. C is that it gives the hunger climb. At noon it will be a Laksa soup was a specialty basis of large noodles. A delight:)
As you'll notice we have a way of feeding a bit unusual: a small base bf ben bao (a kind of white pete containing either pork or pork barbecue lacquer) with a milk carton ( am in the process of detoxification of coffee), then the south has more places around 4am we will say because of the heat and as it is in full activity is generally not cut off for lunch so we did a pretty taste and therefore the evening small dinner or you take the time to ask:)
We will finish the day on a motorcycle on the beach before returning to 5 min after the onset of rain.
Tonight the day I did my best Indian meal ... a cheese nan chicken tandorii to fall !
