After our adventures with Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and a distinct lack of shopping! we awoke on Sunday morning to head for Sentosa Island off the coast of Singapore for a day trip. We were able to get a cable car over to the island which was so cool! Its a big touristy thing and when we got there we made the stupid decision to play crazy golf in the blistering heat, it wasn't very pleasant although the golf part was fun! Spent the day wandering around the island a...

So Penang...where to begin?? Well we left Phi Phi on tuesday...so sad to see it go and we got the boat that morning to Krabi where we were to get an airconditioned minibus down through thailand to Penang, Malaysia. Now I use the term "bus"....very loosely, could probably put the term airconditioned in that category too!
