Snake Temple in Penang
Jane with the python around her neck whilst Peter bravely stood outside. Hello all,
We have reached Penang and are having a lovely restful time. We've continued to be very lucky with the weather with only maybe 1/2 hour of tropical rain. I got burnt to a crisp lying near the pool on the second day and am paying for it! We went on a bus tour of the Island and visited a snake temple - Peter kept a wide birth of the snakes - I was reassured by the knowledge that the snakes hade been defanged and took the plunge and had a python around my neck and 2 vipers on my head - Peter took the photo from outside!
The shopping has been GREAT!! They set up street markets all the way down the street that our hotel is on and Peter and I have taken in the markets each night and barted with the locals. We have eaten each night in a big open air 'cafe' and tasted the local fare for very cheap outlay.
Looking forward to coming home though - miss you Sophia, Dean and Andrew (and Jakey) and our bed!!!
See you all soon,
Jane and Peter XXXXX
