Next stop Malaysia

After a few days in Kuala Lumpur I went to Penang, spent two nights in Georgetown then went to Batu Ferringhi. Here I spent a few days by the beach and finally got around to reading the third Stieg Larsson book. The accomodation was more expensive than usual but it was on the beach. The photo below is taken from the patio door.

I tried to hire a motorbike on Penang but seeing as they had insurance they would not hire out bikes without a valid drivers license. So I hired a car instead and did a trip around the island which allowed me to see some of the not so touristy areas. We stopped at a small fishing village for lunch and had fresh fish.

After Penang I went to the Cameron Highlands and then to Melaka and finally back to Kuala Lumpur for my flight to Hong Kong.
