Beach time in Penang!

Ahhh relax time! We are presently trying to gain our strenght to get back into traveling around Asia. We are in Penang now, north of Malaysia. We are at a little town called Batu Ferrighi in a hostel right on the BEACH. It's called Baba's Guesthouse. It's very nice here.The island is surrounded by mountains which gives it a nice breeze at night... so the 30 degrees .. doesn't seem too too bad. :)

Yesterday, we went to GeorgeTown which happens to be the most rundown city i've ever been too. All the buildings are falling apart and actually look like they've all caught on fire at least once. However, once you go inside Dtown where all the Historical sights are .. it's a pretty cute town. We went on Penang Hill, hoping to get a better view of this ghetto city and got to enjoy a crazy view 700m above sea level. It's actually looks huge from there.. but then you start pointing out all the sights and realize.. "i've been there, i've been there.. ya there too" all on foot! mm.
Oh well.

I haven't been feeling my best over here though.. I was actually sick in the cable car going up the hill. Wow that was a treat. No details but .. good thing i had a plastic bag. I think it's the malaria pill that did that. Sorry for the mention lol. But i feel good now.

We are enjoying our last day here just resting on the beach. I wish i could post a few pictures to make you guys jealous of where i am but these stupid ghetto computers won't reconize my memory stick! Bah

Well there's nothing much to say about Penang exept one thing.. I've noticed that they seem to be mispelling everything here. It's quite original. We have seen things like Kompleks (for complexe), Tekis (for taxi) and Polis (for police). These Penangians are either incredibly clever... or really dumb. I guess that's for us to decide.

We are leaving for Krabi (thailand) tomorrow 5am. We will be staying 1 day each in Krabi,Phuket and PIPI island (ahhh thailand.. always great location names)
We'll talk soon ! byebye!!
