DAY 39 in Penang, Malaysia

It was a short day here today.  We arrived at the port which is right in town at midday.  The weather was perfect again and very hot.  Only a short stroll from the port is a large shopping centre.  Everyone from the ship seemed to have the same idea and went to the mall.  Must say it was nice to be in the air-conditioning. As it was our first visit to Malaysia I must say we were surprised just how cheap things are here and therefore had to add a few more kilos to the baggage weight. J

Penang, not being a big place was easy to walk around, even in the heat. Some of the buildings are rather lovely with a touch of Asia, a touch of Portugal and a touch of Dutch and English, as they have all been a part of Penang’s history over the years.

At sail away we ventured down to the aft of the ship to check out the new area behind Johnny Rockets.  It’s a lovely place enjoy the view at sail away.

We decided to have a quiet night and we did, which surprised us, a first for us on this trip.
