Trip to Penang

View from the top at Kek Lok Si

On 29th October 2010, we took night bus from Malacca to Penang Island. Since that the bus we took will move at 9.30pm, we wait for it to arrive. It was a trip that can't be forgotten. When we reach Penang Island's bus station at Sg Nibong. It was 30th October 2010 at 5.05 am in the morning. Gosh! So early! Anyway, we waited for about 2 hour before my friend come to fetch us. We do understand that it really early for any trip.

Kuan Ying Statue, Kek Lok Si

First destination that we went was at Air Itam, Penang. We had our breakfast before we venture to the top of the hill. I ate mee soup while my parent ate wantan mee. After breakfast, off we go for adventure. The road taken was longer than my previous visit. Only vehicles that usually use the road. Anyway, it really a great adventure as we get to warm up and enjoy the mother nature. After about half an hour, we reach to the top! Pheww! What a sweat we gone thru and all pay of when we reached there.

Nice view indeed!

After have a look around the place, we took a lift or could be say a cable car down to other place. It cost us Rm 2 per one way trip. Then we took the staircase down where by we reach to the Tortoise Garden ( I name it myself as there lot of tortoise in the it with cage around ). I bought vegetable for them to eat. Soon, we went down again and pass by few stall selling clothes and souvenirs.

Cute ?

The next destination we went to was Ghee Hiang. We bought tau sar pheah that quite nice indeed. It cost Rm 6 per box which contain 12 tau sar. I took the picture above as it seem cute. Their mascot. You should try their biscuits it when come to Penang!

Declining Buddha

The next destination was at Burma Lane. It was a tourist attraction due to the unique statues of Buddha. Isn't it great, beauty, weird and interesting? Anyway, it was a great journey to venture. :) Thanks to my friend or could say a brother called Kevin for being our tour guide and driver on that time.
