It seemed a little cooler today, maybe it was the cloud cover or maybe I was imagining it. On the west side of Penang Island there is Penang National Park and it looks like it is less populous as it is on the opposite side of the island to George Town. We thought it could be a nice drive, stop somewhere for lunch and then head back. I worked out that it would be about 2.5 hours to do a complete lap of the island but half of that would be driving through suburbs and billions of traffic lights.
The drive through hills was lovely, but the road was very narrow and very windy. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to stop to really have a look, but it did rain there for a little while. Our destination was a nice little town down near the ocean, but once we got there, nothing was really there to see and no where to eat. So, we headed back home, along the narrow windy roads. As the driver it was fun, but as the passenger, The Albatross was really getting over it. As the might Bezza is a small car, we barely fit and most of the time we are both trying not to rub shoulders with each other.
For a late lunch we found a road side stall selling food, we just pointed at stuff. However, it was quite nice, seemed like a beef rendang and some type of chicken dish.
Did some more laundry and hung our knickers around the apartment to get them dry. We have a great view out over the ocean.
