53 Persiaran Gurney Georgetown, Pulau Penang, Pinang, Malaysia, 10250, 4-226-9988

We arrived by air from KL on 20th for a five night stay. This short stay is a long awaited little bit of luxury because we are booked into the Evergreen Laurel, an excellent 5 star hotel. Our room is a superior sea view and from our seventh floor room the view is truly superb. Unfortunately when we leave the hotel and cross the road towards the sea, the beach is non existant and the smell of drains entering the sea, especially at low tide, is truly awful. However, the hotel is everything that...
Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia alanandchrisArriving into Penang after a long day of two flights, from Kota Bharu via Kuala Lumpur, we hopped in a taxi and drove to our accommodation just north of Georgetown, the islands capital. You may wonder why we took this route as any map of Malaysia will show that Kota Bharu and Penang are both in the very north of the country, whereas KL is towards the south. The simple answer is that it was the cheapest and quickest way, as trains don't run directly between the two. Once we had checked in we s...

That sounds like it was uneventful.........trust me 16 hours on an overnight train from Thailand to Malaysia is not!!!
Late departing as you are already aware........we found our bunks in Car 2 of the International Express and definitely made a good choice in booking 2 lower bunks as they are longer and much wider than the top...........and so to s...

Georgetown, Pinang, Malaysia cagonu... with chilli ketchup.<br><br>We have experimented with the video function on our camera and now for the first time in glorious technicolour we present you with video footage! So if you click on the photo that says 'video' you will get your own visit to the Red Garden night market! I think you'll get a black square with an arrow in the middle. Click the arrow and you should get the video (you may need to make sure your speakers are turned on)<br><br>

A real blast from the past, reminded me of the old days in Hong Kong and the few times we took the car across the harbour on the ferries. Now I think about it, the crossing and the view itself wasn’t all that different to Hong Kong either, although the night skyline is obviously rather more lowrise and ...

Next to Chinatown there's Little India; although a little smaller, its character is larger than life. A short stroll brings your tastebuds face to face with tempting pakoras and you're ears assaulted by the bolly music blasted from every second shop. Malay, Chinese and Indian make up 90% of the population. Our first fix of sightseeing took us to Fort ...

Not done a lot today need to get our thai visa's sorted and were off to check out the largest budhist shrine in Malaysia tomorrow. It has a massive pagoda you can go up to check out some very good views at the top apparently, should be good.
