Georgetown, Penang

Up around 9:00am. It was so cold with the air-con on all night, Jen had to gret up and turn it off.


We had breakfast at the hostel (free), then went on a walking tour of Georgetown. It's a World Heritage Site because of all the old British colonial buildings downtown.


Went into the museum, visited Fort Cornwallis had lunch downtown and walked around the old colonial area.  Very cool.


Mid afternoon, we headed back to the hostel, got our bags and caught a bus to Batu Feringhi, maybe a 30 minute bus ride.


The northern coast of Penang is full of massive hotels and resorts.


We got to Baba Guest House and checked into our room, got changed and went for a swim in the ocean. Jen got stung by a jellyfish.


We went out to the main drag so she could get something for her sting, then headed to a beach restaurant and had supper and drank beers while the sun set.


We then walked along the night market along the main drag, which seemed to go on forever.


Then to bed.
