To Penang





Today woke up at 7 plus, got outside with my jacket and felt that the air was abt below 20 degree celcius. Left the bungalow and drove to Brinchang town. Then after passing Equatorial hotel, we headed downhill towards Ipoh. Somewhat 90kms later, we reached Simpang Pulai and had 'brunch' 'cos didn't know when the next meal would come when travelling.


Afterwards, we went to 'Kek Lok Tong' (ji le dong) cave temple. The cave had a 50m ceiling and the staglatites were like OMG! So big! Staglatites are formed from dripping water from the ceiling of the cave over hundreds of years.

Then in a darker corner of the cave, I heared squeaking sounds. Walked over and shone torchlight, it was small bats appearing every now and then.

After that went on North-South Highway to Butterworth, took 2 hrs, waited 1 hr for a ferry and crossed over to Pulau Pinang. We stayed at G Hotel and had dinner at the hawker centre. I ate 'char kuay tiao'. Extremely nice, next time mabye will take budget airline here to eat again.

Then went shopping, bought 5 pieces of clothes, all mine. Then had ice-cream. Then went back to hotel. Then blogged...
