After a fabulous two weeks in Cambodia it was time to move on to our second last country – Malaysia. Our first stop was the island of Penang, which I had actually visited on a family holiday 15 years previously. I was really excited to revisit a place that held fond memories and explore more of Malaysia. The last visit was with family friends and was centred more around lazing by the pool and beach. This time we were staying on the other side of the island so I was interested to see how different it was.
By the time we had arrived from the airport and checked into our guesthouse in Georgetown it was about 5:30pm. So we thought we would have a quick wander of the neighbourhood before the sun went down to get oriented before grabbing dinner somewhere. As we wandered around we spotted our first of a bunch of amazing street art murals as well as the wire cartoons put up around Georgetown by UNESCO. Along with the amazingly beautiful old colonial houses and traditional chinese architecture the whole of Georgetown is a sight to see.
