The next day we were on the road again after a few minor car ailments - don’t ask me what- I’ll get the mechanics to do a stint on the blog and you will be able to hear all the gory detail.
So we set off to Penang passing through lovely rural Malaysian scenery with lots of lush jungle and pretty villages. We arrived on the island of Penang via the huge bridge stretching over the Malacca straits offering a dramatic vista of Georgetown. This bridge is one of the 100 places to visit before you die. The Eastern and Oriental Hotel was a treat for everyone. So peaceful is it that it has been known for some residents to sit on the same lounger for three months at a time overlooking the beach and bay. Many have been inspired by the ambience and views. Penang did not disappoint. Those who arrived early enjoyed wandering the streets through Chinatown and little India and seeing the well preserved buildings from the colonial era.
