“Great Hotel”

We couldn't wait to explore the streets of Georgetown so upon leaving our luggage in our hotel room, off we went. My husband couldn't believe the price of one can of beer.
A wedding in S.P
So anyway, geting up that early near killed me but we all made it to the airport and got our flight at 7am on Air Asia to Penang. An hour time differnce so landed there at about 10 i think and we all got a minivan bus thing which took us across the bridge onto the mainland heading for Sungai Petani (S.P) Now myself and Matt never knew we were …
Georgetown
Penang is an island
very close to the west coast of northern Malaysia. It is a little
piece of food heaven with all the Malaysian, Chinese and Indian
flavours. We even had a Sri-Lankan meal one night which was
delicious!
During the day the
streets of the historic old town (a UNESCO world heritage site) are
quiet …
