The weather in KL was mostly cloudy, and of course it had to be sunny on the day we left (typical)! We took the bus back to the LLC Terminal, which was very busy, and catched our plane to Penang (about 1 hour). At the airport a driver picked us up to bring us to our hotel and we had a very warm welcome! We stayed at Noordin Mews, a very nice bed and breakfast in the south of Georgetown, and it was great! Our room was bigger then expected and we had a nice pool!
After we'd freshened up it was time to explore Georgetown, it's the more historical and colonial part of the city. Unfortunately a lot of Chinese stores/restaurant were closed because of Chinese New Year, but luckily it was still very lively in Little India. Malaysia has a lot of different nationalities, Malay people, Indian, Chinese with all their different religions. I loved this mix!
So we drawled around in the Indian neighborhood. Tasted some local snacks (again!) and went to Kapitan, an Indian restaurant. It was a nice place and we ordered some very nice Tandoori chicken! After dinner we walked back to the hotel and relaxed at the pool.

After our 3 hours hike we took the same bus back but stopped at the beach (the driver told us where to get off). We were recommended to go to Bora Bora, so we did! A nice bar with a terrace on the beach! As usual we had some drinks and a little food. The food wasn't that great, but you can't expect much from a bar so we enjoyed it. A couple of hours later we took the 101 bus (comes every 30min) back thinking it would drop us at the Terminal where we took it. No quite so, we just ended up somewhere in Georgetown, but lucky for me I have this amazing boyfriend who always knows where to go! So he walked us back to the hotel for a swim and a relaxing evening.

We were finished quite early so we decided to take a walk close to the seaside. But after an hour or so it was too hot so we went back to the hotel for a swim and a relaxing afternoon at the pool! In the evening we first had a drink at Kashmir (very friendly service!) and afterwards we walked back to the seaside because they had this 'food court' with lots of food, and had dinner there.

Because it was really hot again, we had another relaxing afternoon at the pool to enjoy our last day. After some time we freshened up a bit and went to yet another side of Georgetown, we past some nice looking street market and decided to come back at dinner time. But first we had some coffee at Old Town (similar to Starbucks but more local). We also tried shaved ice but because of the traditional toppings (red bean, sweet corn, some pink sauce) they put on it I didn't like it at all! My boyfriend did though, he eats everything, haha! So after that experience we went back to that street market we saw and ordered some different dishes, we had Chinese pies, duck noodles, fried chicken, vegi wraps,... All amazing food and so cheap!
