Penang on the West coast of Malaysia

{w:400;h:300} Penang on the west coast of Northern Malaysia!!!!

The bus journey over was uneventful and relatively easy for us - which makes a change. Usually bus journeys (or any kind of moving transportation) tend to be total nightmare. This did go uncharacteristically smoothly….. We drove through beautiful mountains covered with lush […]

Leaving Mira Beach

Pulau Kecil Perhentian - The small island

17/04/08 Getting the boat from the jetty at Kuala Besut was easy and very straight forward. It all seemed arranged to almost military accuracy.
