Well that wasn't the best journey ever! We travelled from Phuket all the way to Georgetown by minibus, and it took roughly 11 hours. Hence, I was a little tired by the end and as all my family know, I get a little grumpy when i'm tired. Then to make it worst when we told the driver where our hostel was, he laughed and asked if we wanted to stay at one he knew, mmm... maybe we should have realised something here, but how bad could it be?.... Bad, very Bad is the answer it was horrendous, it was like a warehouse, the communal bathroom was dirty and the whole place looked like it was out of a cheep horror film. I was not a happy bunny. So we went out and found the hostel the bus driver had told us about and booked a room for the next night. We arrived back at the erm... hostel if you can call it that, and decided to try and get some sleep. Unfortunately for Sam there was a rave going on in the next building and she didn't get any, I was straight out for the count, which i'm sure is no surprise to most of you!! After making it through the night, we moved out the next day and in to a real hostel and went off exploring, with me a happy bunny again.
So with me happy, we went up to Penang Hill and took the tram to the top, not good when your scared of heights, although once safely at the top and 700m above sea level, the view where amazing, you could see all the way round the island. That night we deceided to save some money and eat from the street vendors, I think by the end of the night we had actually spent more money than normal, but the food was good and it was still only a couple of quid. The next day we deceided to go to the botanical gardens at the unfortunately it chucked it down as soon as we got there and most of the park was shut. The only thing we saw was lots of monkey's hunting around for food. If the sun had of made an appearence it would have been wonderfull. Once the rain calmed down we had a look around the town visiting one of the temples and doing the usual sight seeing stuff, I wont bore you with it though. It was then back to the hostel for a few beers and packing up ready to leave the next day.
And off we travelled to the Perhentians....
