Marzo 22 - 26 / March 22 - 26

En la mañana salimos del hostal hacia la estacion de buses, alli tomamos un bus desde Kuala Lumpur a Georgetown.  Despues de 4 horas llegamos el hostal Just Inn y salimos a caminar y a ver los murales por lo cual es famosa esta ciudad.  Tambien has esculturas de hierro forjado que les prenden luces por la noche.  Comimos en un restaurante indu que se llama Kapitan, esta abierto las 24 horas del dia.  Nos comimos un pollo hecho en Tandoori delicioso.

En la mañana del 23 de Marzo nos fuimos para otro hotel con aire acondicionado.  Definitivamente hace mas calor que en Kuala Lumpur (eso nos habian dicho) y no pudimos dormir muy bien.  El ventilador de techo no hace mucho cuando esta a varios metros de altura.  Encontramos una pieza en Red Inn Penang en una calle que se llama Love Lane (la calle del amor), una calle popular para turistas extranjeros.

Despues de cambiarnos de hotel fuimos a hacer una caminada guiada por Georgetown.  Clement, un Chino-Malasio que trabaja como voluntario para la ciudad nos mostro varios barrios, templos y lugares de interes.

En la tarde estuvimos visitando un templo Chino llamado Kek Lok Si.  Mas tarde estuvimos en la montaña Penang para ver el atardecer y la ciudad de noche.  La vista es espectacular!

El 24 de Marzo no hicimos mucho porque estuvo lloviendo casi todo el dia.  En la noche fuimos a Batu Ferringhi al mercado nocturno.  Llegamos directo a la zona de comidas y nos deleitamos con varios platos de comida local… todo delicioso!

El 25 de Marzo fuimos al Parque Nacional Penang a hacer una caminada.  Fueron solo 4Km pero quedamos de muerte, el camino tiene muchos obstaculos y el calor y la humedad del bosque nos dieron muy duro.

En la tarde fuimos al templo Chino Khoo Kongsi a ver un show.  Hubo diferentes demostraciones, entre ellos el Dragon Chino, el show del Leon y el show de tambores.  En el camino al hotel paramos en la mezquita Benggali y tomamos algunas fotos.

El 26 de Marzo estuvimos viendo mas murales.  En la tarde, despues de escamparnos de una tremenda tormenta en una zona de comidas, fuimos a visitar los barrios de los muelles.  Mas tarde estuvimos en el Museo de Penang, un museo bastante interesante a cerca de la historia de Penang.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We took a bus from Kuala Lumpur to Georgetown.  After 4 fours we arrived at Just Inn hostel and went for a walk around the city to see the wall paintings this city is famous for.  There is also steel forged art, which gets lit up at night.  Dinner was at an Indian restaurant called Kapitan, which is open 24 hours a day.  We had an amazing Tandoori chicken.

In the morning of March 23 we moved to another hotel with AC.  It is definitely hotter than Kuala Lumpur (we had been warned) and we did not have a good night of sleep.  The ceiling fan does not do much when it is several meters above you.  We found a good room at Red Inn Penang on Love Lane, a busy street with foreign tourists.

After changing hotels we went for a walking tour around Georgetown.  Clement, a local Chinese-Malaysian, took us around several neighbourhoods and showed us many temples and places of interest.

In the afternoon we went to the Kek Lok Si Chinese Temple.  Later we went to Penang Hill for sunset and to see the city at night.

On March 24 we could not do much during the day as it was raining.  In the evening we went to Batu Ferringhi’s night market.  We got straight to the food area and had a feast on different Malaysian dishes… it was amazing!

On March 25 we went to the Penang National Park for a hike.  It was only a 4Km hike but very exhausting as the trail has a lot of obstacles and the heat and humidity were too much.

Late in the afternoon we went to Khoo Kongsi Temple for a Chinese show.  They had performances of the Chinese dragon, Lion show and drum show.  On the way to the hotel we stopped at Benggali Mosque to take a couple of pictures.

On March 26 we went to see more of the wall paintings around the city.  In the afternoon, after we weather a storm in a hawker market (place full of small stall that sell food), we went visited several clan jetties.  Later in the afternoon we went to Penang State Museum, an intresting museum about Penang’s history.
