5/10 Flight to Penang


Yes ok so we had a couple more Jumbo Breakfasts. We noticed a large multistorey market building next door and had a wander through there. A whole floor of fishy stuff and upstairs had dried fruit and veg etc with a food hall upstairs. Back downstairs we found a stainless steel outdoor geriatric tai chi exercise park with structures to lean on for stretching and wheels to turn for exercise.

We packed and moved out at 12 – well hardly a move we just sat in reception and used the wifi. I collected some more delicious bits from the bakery and J chatted with work colleagues and looked at some details of proposed restructuring.

We trained out to the airport and caught the Air Asia flight to Penang. J got bushwhacked by 2 young Aussie brothers (aged 4 & 6) while their parents took a welcome breather (go Alex and Olly). The flight was barely half full, as has been the case on most of our recent flights with them, and we had a smooth flight to Penang.

We landed at about 11.30 and caught a taxi just before the witching hour when prices double. We had sketched a map around our hostel and were able to direct the driver. The hostel is very nice and we have a big hard bed in a big room with good AC – just no private bath. What do you expect for $23  a night? It was late but we got sucked into watching LA Confidential until about 2.
