Georgetown (Penang)

---

We left Langkawi yesterday after a great 3 nights on the island, it is truely
beautiful and I hope to go back sometime when i have the money to enjoy
it to the full. the season was wrong for scuba diving which was a pity.
WE rented a car for one of the days and drove around the island abit. Went
to an Oriental village which was nice, and went on the longest Cable Car
in the world !!! it was pretty nerve jangling, but the view at the top was
amazing.....

Arrived on the island of Penang yesterday via ferry. Today is Chinese New
year and almost everything is closed which is a bit crap really. We are
being forced to eat in McDonalds and Pizza Hut today as they are the only
food joints open.....nightmare !

Due to boredom we have decided to head for Kuala Lumpur tonight on the sleeper
train, counting down the hours till we get that now!!

Looks like we will spend 4 nights there and get into Singapore on the 15th.
great news on that front is that we have a past school-mate of mine who
has kindly agreed to give us somewhere to rest our weary bones !
We need to move our flights to Brisbane forward but it looks like we will
fly out on the 19th or 20th of Feb, landing the following day in Brissie!

Can't wait to settle down for a while and get some money together!
