Day 13 – Saturday 4 March

Penang, Malaysia.

Cruise Day 13 of 35.

Cruised through the Strait of Malacca, to the island of Penang, where we spent the afternoon and evening.



We (including our cruise friends, Ray & Chrissie) hired a wonderful taxi driver – jonathanshaw1234@gmail.com – from near the Queen Victoria Diamond Jubilee Memorial Clock Tower.


 Our first stop was at the Snake Temple.




Next stop was at the impressive Kek Lok Si Temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Southeast Asia, which includes a 30 metre statue bronze Kuan Yin statue.











We then went up and down Penang Hill on the funicular train, and took in the panoramic views of Georgetown.








We then drove to Batu Feringgi, for a wander through the night market.
