Got to this Old Penang Guesthouse (hostel) 10pm last night - felt I had been travelling for days and days and days. Good food on Singapore airlines, didn't think much of the films and a really bumpy flight and you can tell I didn't get much sleep. Changi airport amazing - fantastic flower displays - orchids taller than me. From there short flight to Penang. Really tempted to get into a taxi, but this trip is about stretching myself a little so found the bus. Hostel in Love Lane. Really pleasantly surprised, for a cheap place. Has been converted from a old colonial house. Yes it is hot. Going for a wander now and practice with the camera and later find if I can upload some photos.
