We headed for the ferry early in the morning, it only took 15 minutes so we arrived in George Town at around 10 am. We had no hostel booked and had no idea where we were going. We tried to grab a taxi to take us to a nearby mall so we could get breakfast. At every other place we've been to the taxi guys literally jump on you to try persuade you to take their taxi which we thought would be the case here but actually we found it hard to get a taxi guy interested in taking us! We asked about going to a mall and they just looked at us blankly! One guy then agreed and took us to one right in the centre. We tried to find a nice place for breakfast but ended up going into Starbucks as there wasn't a great deal of option. We spent an hour or so there using the wifi to catch up on various things. Then we caught another taxi to the area where we had looked up a hostel. Once we got there, a passer by told us there was another 'reggae mansion' hostel in Penang. It wasn't anywhere near as good or busy as the one in KL but it was still nice. Hostel sorted! We headed back to the mall to have a proper look round without our rucksacks. We stocked up on some toiletries and then went for dinner at a Sushi restaurant. After, we went back to the hostel and I FaceTimed one of my besties, Stacey! We've been trying to find a good time to speak for a while so it was really good to catch her at a time when she wasn't too busy. We had a right little gossip, I loved catching up with her! While I was chatting, I all got dressed up and after, we headed to the reggae mansion bar just on the other side of the road. After a cocktail each we thought we'd call it a night as we were all nackered. I FaceTimed Jack who was just chilling in his dorm at uni which was really nice until some girl in the dorm next door told be to stop face timing! I really miss him so it was just good to see his face. Big day of exploring tomorrow!
