DAY 39 in
Penang, Malaysia
It was a
short day here today. We arrived at the
port which is right in town at midday.
The weather was perfect again and very hot. Only a short stroll from the port is a large
shopping centre. Everyone from the ship
seemed to have the same idea and went to the mall. Must say it was nice to be in the
air-conditioning. As it was our first visit to Malaysia I must say we were
surprised just how cheap things are here and therefore had to add a few more
kilos to the baggage weight. J
Penang, not
being a big place was easy to walk around, even in the heat. Some of the
buildings are rather lovely with a touch of Asia, a touch of Portugal and a
touch of Dutch and English, as they have all been a part of Penang’s history
over the years.
At sail
away we ventured down to the aft of the ship to check out the new area behind
Johnny Rockets. It’s a lovely place
enjoy the view at sail away.
We decided
to have a quiet night and we did, which surprised us, a first for us on this
trip.
Tomorrow Port Kelang (Kuala
Lumpur), Malaysia
